Interviewer instructions
Question P-14 -- Mother alive
Question 14 has two parts, P-14 and P-14a. Everyone answers the first part. Those who answer "Yes" must answer the second part as well.
P-14 "Is (the person's) own biological mother still alive?
Biological mother means not a stepmother, or mother by adoption.
Dot one alternative:
Y = Yes
N = No
D = Don't know
Answer "don't know" only if nobody in the household can help you with the correct answer.
If "No" or "Don't know" skip P-14a and go to P-15.
If "Yes" go to Question P-14a.
P-14a "Who in this household is (the person's) mother?"
If the person's mother is a member of this household, give the row number of the mother in the boxes. For example, if the person's mother is the household head, write "01". Or maybe the person's mother has been listed in row 14 on questionnaire 2, so you will write "14".
If the person's mother does not live in the same household write "99".
