Interviewer instructions
Please answer both Question 5 about Hispanic origin and Question 6 about race. For this survey, Hispanic origins are not races.

The term Mexican Am. refers to persons of Mexican-Puerto Rico origin or ancestry.
If you mark the "Yes, another Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin" box, print the name of the specific origin.
If a person is not of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin, answer this question by marking the "No, not of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin" box.
This question should be answered by all persons.
6. Mark all boxes for the appropriate races.
The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by individuals according to the race or races with which they identify.
The instruction before question 5, "For this survey, Hispanic origins are not races" reflects the federal government's treatment of Hispanic origin and race as separate and distinct concepts.
People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race.
People may choose to provide two or more races either by marking two or more race response boxes, by providing multiple write-in responses, or by some combination of marking boxes and writing in responses.
If you mark the "Puerto Rico Indian or Alaska Native" box, also print the name of the tribe(s) in which the person is enrolled. If the person is not enrolled in a tribe, print the name of the principal tribe.
