Questions and instructions

Literal question

[In P-01 above, all 10 rows are listed because they are not exactly the same.]
Interviewer instructions
Question P-01 -- Person number

"Assign row or person number to each person starting from 01."

The numbers are not pre-printed, as we have to allow for households with more than ten people. So you have to complete the person numbers by filling in the boxes to the left of the printed number. Make sure that you write inside the box not next to it or outside it.

If you are only using one questionnaire, i.e. for households with up to ten people, fill in "0" before the pre-printed number so the first person gets the number 01, the second 02, etc. Write inside the boxes. If you use the last row, fill in "1" before the zero to make number "10".

If you are using a second questionnaire for the same household (if there are more than 10 people in the household), fill in "1" before the pre-printed number. Thus the first person on this questionnaire gets the serial number 11, the second 12, etc. If you use the last row fill in "2" to make "20".

If you are using a third questionnaire (in rare cases where there are more than twenty people in a household) the serial numbers will be 21, 22, 23, etc., up to 30.

It is important that the row numbers are correct when we get to questions about spouses and parents with children.
