Interviewer instructions
3. Mark the appropriate category to describe the relationship of each person to Person 1. If the person is related to Person 1 by birth, marriage, or adoption, but is not the husband or wife, son or daughter, brother or sister, father or mother, grandchild, or in-law of Person 1, mark the "Other relative" box. Therefore, a niece or nephew of Person 1 would be categorized as "Other relative." A parent-in-law, son/daughter-in-law, or brother/sister-in-law of Person 1 would be categorized as an "In-law."
If a person is a stepchild or an adopted child of Person 1, mark the "Son or daughter" box.
If a person is not related to Person 1, mark the applicable box. A "Roomer or boarder" is someone renting a room/space in the house. A "Housemate or roommate" is someone sharing the house/apartment (but who is not romantically involved) with Person 1. An "Unmarried partner," also know as a domestic partner, is a person who shares a close personal relationship with Person 1. A "Foster child" is someone under the age of 18 who is involved in the formal foster care system. For all other people who are not related to Person 1 mark the "Other non-relative" box.
