Interviewer instructions
This questions is AUTOMATICALLY answered by computer based on information given in T3AQ1, T3AQ5 and T3AQ6. More specifically, answer is set to "yes[1]" only if the HH member eligibility criteria are satisfied:
A HOUSEHOLD member is a person who has usually slept in the HH dwelling and taken his/her meals together during at least nine (9) of the twelve (12) months preceding the interview, i.e. T3AQ5 = "Present all year [1]" or "Absent less then 3 months [2]". A DWELLING is the house, houses or apartment in which the household members are presently living.
There are four exceptions to this definition:
- The following persons are household members, even if they have spent fewer than 9 months in the household in the past 12 months:
(1) the person identified as the head of the household (T3AQ1 = "Head [1]")
(2) persons who just joined the household and expect to be long-term residents (i.e. expected to be residing in the household in the next 6 months), such as newborn infants aged less than three months or new spouses (T3AQ6 = "Yes [1]")
- The following persons are NOT household members, even if they have slept in the same dwelling and taken their meals with the rest of the household for the entire 12 months before the survey and even if they are expected to be residing in the HH in the next 6 months from now:
(3) tenants and boarders and their dependents (T3AQ1 = "Tenant/boarder [17]'); and
