Interviewer instructions
You should include portions of a month of absence in the calculations here. Include the portions in determining the total cumulative absence.
For example, an individual who was away for one period of 6 weeks (1.5 months), another period of 3 weeks (0.75 months), and a third period of half a month, the total cumulative absence was 2.75 months. This should be recorded as 3 months. (See the next point on rounding.)
In reporting the total cumulated absence that includes such portions, round down if the portion of a month is less than half, round up if it is more than half. If it is exactly half, round down. For example, if an individual was absent for 3 months and one week in total, report 3 months; if 3½ months, report 3 months; and if it is 3 months and 3 weeks, report 4 months.
In the previous example, where the total cumulative absence was 2.75 months, report 3 months.
IMPORTANT: If the individual has been away from the household for 7 months or more, this person will no longer be considered a household member. Prompt the respondent again to be sure that this individual has lived away from the household for more than 6 months of the last 12 months. If this really is the case, then you should draw a line through this person's name and not ask any more questions about this individual for the rest of the questionnaire. That is why the probing questions you ask before beginning the interview (described above) are very important.
Ask for total months of absence over the past 12 months.
For example, if an individual was absent once over a period of 3 months, and again over another period of 1 month in the past 12 months, you should write 4.
