Interviewer instructions
Record how the person listed is related to the head of the household. Use the codes at the bottom of the page. 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.
Example: if the respondent is the wife of the head of the household and she says that Simeona is her brother, then Simeona should be coded as OTHER RELATIVE not BROTHER OR SISTER, because Simeona is a brother-in-law of 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 Code 12 (ADOPTED/FOSTER/STEPCHILD).
