Interviewer instructions
Enter the code corresponding to how the person listed is related to the head of the household.
Use the below codes.
'01' - Head
'02' - Wife or husband
'03' - Son or daughter
'04' - Son or daughter in-law
'05' - Grandchild
'06' - Parent
'07' - Parent in-law
'08' - Brother or sister
'09' - Brother or sister in-law
'10' - Uncle or aunt
'11' - Grandparent
'13' - Other relative
'14' - Adopted or foster or stepchild
'15' - Not related
'98' - DK
Be particularly careful in doing this if the respondent is not the head of the household. Make sure that you record the relationship of each person to the household head, not the relationship to the respondent. For example, if the respondent is the wife of the head of the household and she says that Bat is her brother, then Bat should be coded as 09 (Brother or Sister-in-Law), not as 08 (Brother or Sister), because Bat is a brother-in-law of the head of the household. Be very careful in obtaining this information correctly, since respondents tend to provide the relationship of the person to themselves, rather than to the head of the household.
If the head of the household is married to a woman who has a child from a previous marriage, that child's relationship to the head of the household should be coded as 14 (Adopted or Foster or Stepchild). If a household member is not related to the head of household, such as a friend who lives with the household, enter 15 (Not related). Enter '98' if the respondent doesn't know the relationship of a household member to the head of household.
Use the below codes.
'01' - Head
'02' - Wife or husband
'03' - Son or daughter
'04' - Son or daughter in-law
'05' - Grandchild
'06' - Parent
'07' - Parent in-law
'08' - Brother or sister
'09' - Brother or sister in-law
'10' - Uncle or aunt
