Other Relative: Refers to relationships that aren't specifically listed, such as great grandmother, niece, or

Other Non-relative: Refers to the relationship between two people when there is no family relationship
through blood, marriage, adoption, or partnership (i.e., living together as married). It also refers to more
ambiguous relationships that exist where there are two people living together as married and they have
children. For example, the child's father and the father's girlfriend (who is not the child's mother) live together
as married and the girlfriend's daughter lives with them. The relationship of the girlfriend's daughter to the
child would be siblings if they were married, but since the father and the girlfriend are not married, she is an
"other non-relative." If the "other non-relative" is coded, you will receive a list of other codes to use if they are
more descriptive than "other non-relative."

DIFFERENT PERSON NUMBER THAN THE MOTHER IDENTIFIED AS A KEY PARENT FIGURE) SHOULD BE A
KEY PARENT FIGURE. ELSE, IF THERE IS A MOTHER (RELATION =1) BUT NO FATHER (RELATION=2) AND
THE MOTHER HAS A SPOUSE/PARTNER WHO IS FEMALE, THE MOTHER (IDENTIFIED WITH THE SAME
CRITERIA AS IN BULLET 2 IF THERE ARE TWO MOTHERS) SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE AND HER
FEMALE SPOUSE/PARTNER (WHO HAS A DIFFERENT PERSON NUMBER THAN THE MOTHER IDENTIFIED AS
A KEY PARENT FIGURE) SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE. (NOTE: IN HOUSEHOLDS WITH TWO
MOTHERS, EACH MOTHER FIGURE CAN ONLY OCCUPY ONE OF THE TWO KEY PARENT FIGURE SLOTS. IF
MOTHER FIGURE #2 QUALIFIES AS A KEY PARENT AND IS ALSO THE SPOUSE/PARTNER OF A MOTHER
FIGURE #1, MOTHER FIGURE #1 SHOULD BE ONE KEY MOTHER FIGURE AND MOTHER FIGURE #2 SHOULD
BE THE OTHER KEY PARENT FIGURE)

•

4) IF THERE IS A FATHER (RELATION=2) BUT NO MOTHER (RELATION=1) AND THE FATHER HAS A FEMALE
SPOUSE/PARTNER, THE FATHER SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE AND THE FEMALE SPOUSE/PARTNER
SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE. ELSE, IF THERE IS A FATHER (RELATION =2) BUT NO MOTHER

DIFFERENT PERSON NUMBER THAN THE FATHER IDENTIFIED AS A KEY PARENT FIGURE) SHOULD BE A
KEY PARENT FIGURE. NOTE: IN HOUSEHOLDS WITH TWO FATHERS, EACH FATHER FIGURE CAN ONLY

PARENT AND IS ALSO THE SPOUSE/PARTNER OF A FATHER FIGURE #1, FATHER FIGURE #1 SHOULD BE
ONE KEY FATHER FIGURE AND FATHER FIGURE #2 SHOULD BE THE OTHER KEY PARENT FIGURE)

5) OTHERWISE, IF THERE ARE NOT PARENTS IN THE HOUSEHOLD (RELATION NE 1 OR 2), THE
RESPONDENT SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE AND THE RESPONDENT’S SPOUSE/PARTNER, IF ONE,
SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE.

What was the diagnosis or were the diagnoses?
HELP TEXT:
Learning disability: This is a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding
or in using language, spoken or written, which shows up as difficulty to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do
mathematical calculations. In some cases the child can perform at grade level, but only with special help. Some
names of learning disabilities are dyslexia (CODE UNDER DYSLEXIA), dyscalculia (CODE UNDER DYSCALCULIA),
developmental aphasia, minimal brain dysfunction, brain injury, and perceptual disabilities. The term does not include
learning problems that are primarily the result of problems with seeing, hearing, or walking (or visual, hearing or motor
disabilities); intellectual or severe cognitive disability/mental retardation; emotional disturbance; or environmental,
cultural, or economic disadvantage. A commonly used acronym is "LD."
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD): A childhood syndrome characterized by short attention span that is inappropriate
for his/her age group.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): The child displays signs of inattention, impulsivity, and
hyperactivity that are inappropriate for his or her mental and chronological age. Adults in the child’s environment, such
as parents and teachers must report the signs. Inattention means difficulty concentrating, easily distracted, and not
finishing things started. Impulsivity means often acts before thinking, shifts excessively from one activity to another,
needs a lot of supervision. Hyperactivity means runs about or climbs on things excessively, has difficulty staying
seated, always on the go, as if driven by a motor. Onset is typically before age seven and condition lasts at least six
months.
Developmental delay: A condition in which a young child falls significantly behind his/her age-mates in physical,
mental (cognitive), speech (communication), social/emotional, adaptive (behavioral) development. It does not simply
mean that the child talked somewhat later than some children talked or was smaller than average. It is not to be
confused with autism or pervasive developmental delay. If the child's social behavior and relationships with other
people are generally consistent with his or her delayed cognitive development, then the classification of the condition
as developmental delay is probably appropriate. If this is not the case, see the definitions of autism and pervasive
developmental disorder or delay.
Autism is a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication as well as social
interaction, generally evident before age three. Other characteristics often associated with autism are a pervasive lack
of responsiveness to other people, and engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements (such as handflapping or rocking). There is also often an insistence on sameness, as shown by stereotyped play, abnormal
preoccupations, or resistance to change. With autism, the impaired social development and delayed or deviant
language development are not merely predictable from the child's cognitive retardation. Some children with autism are
actually advanced in their reading skills, memory skills, or musical abilities. The term autism does not apply if the
child’s educational performance is negatively affected primarily because the child has an emotional disturbance.
Asperger's Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), or any other autism spectrum disorder may be
coded here; the subtype will be captured in the next question. Pervasive developmental disorder or delay is also
characterized by gross and sustained impairment in social relationships, but typically has an onset after 30 months of
age. Other characteristics are sudden excessive anxiety, inappropriate affect or emotions, resistance to change in the
environment, oddities of motor movement, abnormalities of speech, hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli, and selfmutilation. This condition generally does not involve delusions, hallucinations, incoherence, or bizarre associations.
Dyslexia: A learning disability (see above definition) marked by impairment of the ability to recognize and
comprehend the written word.
Dyscalculia: A learning disability (see above definition) marked by impairment in the ability to perform and remember
calculations in mathematics.

Intellectual disability/Severe cognitive disability/Mental Retardation: The child's mental development is
significantly and noticeably behind what would ordinarily be expected for a child of his or her age. This significantly
below average general intellectual functioning exists at the same time as problems in adaptive behavior, and
negatively affects the child’s educational performance.
Orthopedic impairment: A bodily (or physical) impairment that is severe enough to negatively affect a child’s
educational performance. Disabling physical problems such as those resulting from poliomyelitis (often called polio or
infantile paralysis), bone tuberculosis, cerebral palsy, amputations, and fractures or contractures (shortening of tissue)
from burns would be considered as orthopedic impairments.
Serious Emotional Disturbance or SED: A condition that has one or more of the following characteristics over a long
period of time that negatively affect a child's educational performance: (a) an inability to learn that cannot be explained
by other factors; (b) an inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers; (c)
inappropriate behavior or feelings; d) a general mood of unhappiness or depression; or (e) a tendency to develop
physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems. The term includes schizophrenia but does
not apply to children who are socially maladjusted, unless it is determined that they have a serious emotional
disturbance.
Traumatic Brain Injury: An acquired injury to the brain caused by an external force, resulting in total or partial
functional disability or psychosocial impairment, or both, that adversely affects a child's educational performance. The
term applies to open or closed head injuries resulting in impairments in one or more areas, such as cognition;
language; memory; attention; reasoning; abstract thinking; judgment; problem-solving; sensory, perceptual, and motor
abilities; psycho-social behavior; physical functions; information processing; and speech. The term does not apply to
brain injuries that are congenital (there at birth) or degenerative (problem that grows worse over time), or to brain
injuries brought on by birth trauma (injuries during birth). The term is used when an external force has caused the
injury.
Panic Disorder: A disorder in which there is the sudden onset of several different physical signs, such as rapid heart
rate, shaking, sweating, nausea, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. A panic disorder may make a child think that
something horrible is about to happen.
Separation Anxiety Disorder: This is the fear a child has of being separated from his/her parents which is far more
than would be expected for the child’s developmental stage.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A child must have obsessions or compulsions or both to have this disorder, and
these obsessions and/or compulsions must be disabling to the child. Obsessions are thoughts that aren’t visible to
others but cause the child distress. The thoughts occur over and over and the child spends so much time on them that
they have a hard time taking care of themselves or relating to others. Compulsions are mental acts that a child feels
driven to perform in response to an obsession.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Children who have this disorder worry all the time over nothing, themselves, other’s
safety, their health, and/or the world to a far greater extent than average. They often have many physical signs of
anxiety such as headache, abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, and dizziness.
Other Anxiety Disorder: An anxiety disorder that is not one of the specific disorders in this list.
Bipolar Disorder: A child with bipolar disorder displays signs of major mood changes, sometimes sad, as in
depression, or the opposite, mania. All bipolar disorders are a combination of mania with or without depression. Some
signs of mania include inflated self-esteem, decreased need for sleep, distractibility and increased activity. Some signs

HELP TEXT:
Instruction in Braille: Braille is a touch system of reading using as the basic graphic symbol a cell composed of six
dots, two dots wide and three dots high. The dots are “read” by running the hand over the paper rather than looking at
it. Sixty-three possible dot combinations of the cell form the basis of the Braille code, and numerous rules govern the
usage of the code. Learners who are totally blind, near-blind, and with profound low vision need mastery of reading
Braille since it is likely their only means of gaining access to educational information in print form. Reading in Braille is
a system of reading that differs in many significant ways from reading in print. Teachers receive special training to

Now I have a few questions about education and job training. What is the highest grade or year of school that
{you/{NAME}} {have/has} completed?

CAPI INSTRUCTION: DISPLAY "you" AND “have” IF LOOPING ON RESPONDENT (PERSONTYPE = R).
OTHERWISE, DISPLAY "{NAME}" and “has” USING NAME OF THE KEY PARENT FIGURE.
HELP TEXT:
Highest Grade or Year of School Completed: For grades 1-11, enter the exact grade level. If the person you are
asking about completed elementary school, find out the last grade completed. If the respondent says the person
finished 12th grade, ask whether the person received a diploma or got the equivalent of a high school diploma.
Completing a given grade in school should be counted as the number of years it normally takes to complete that grade
level of education, regardless of how many years it actually took the person to finish. This means that for persons who
skipped or repeated grades in elementary school, you will enter the highest grade completed regardless of the number
of years they were in school. This rule is true for elementary school through high school and is especially relevant to
college.
12th grade but no diploma: The person completed the 12th grade, but did not earn a high school diploma or GED.
High school equivalent: This means that the person has a GED. The GED is an exam certified equivalent of a high
school diploma received when the person has not actually received a degree from attending high school, but has
acquired his/her GED (high school equivalency based on passing the GED exam).
High school diploma: A certificate that verifies that a person has successfully completed the required courses of a
high school curriculum and has actually graduated from high school rather than having a GED.
Vocational/technical program after high school but no voc/tech diploma: The person attended this type of
program, but did not earn a degree/diploma/certificate of successful completion of the program. Vocational/trade
school after high school refers to work or trade-related education received after completing high school, but does not
include college. Examples include secretarial school, mechanical or computer training school, etc. Some community
colleges offer vocational training, but this would be considered "1-2 years of college" or "associate's degree" and not
vocational or trade school.
Vocational/technical program after high school: The person attended this type of program and DID earn a
degree/diploma/certificate of successful completion of the program. Vocational/trade school after high school refers to
work or trade-related education received after completing high school, but does not include college. Examples include
secretarial school, mechanical or computer training school, etc. Some community colleges offer vocational training,
but this would be considered "1-2 years of college" or "associate's degree" and not vocational or trade school.
Some college but no degree: The person does not have a 4-year college (bachelor's) degree but has completed a
class for credit at a college or university.

Associate's degree: A 2-year college degree typically earned at a community college (rather than a trade school).
Bachelor's degree: A 4-year college degree earned at a university or 4-year college. It is sometimes called an
"undergraduate degree."
Graduate or professional school but no degree: The person attended a graduate or professional school that
advanced him/her toward a degree beyond a Bachelor's degree (for example, a Master's, Doctorate, or other
professional degree). However, the person did not complete the program or earn the degree.
Master's (MA, MS): Studies beyond a bachelor's degree, but not a Ph.D. or Ed.D.
Doctorate Degree (Ph.D., EDD): Studies beyond a Master's degree that result in a doctorate degree.
Professional degree after bachelor's degree (Medicine/MD; Dentistry/DDS, Law/JD/LLB): Any other graduate
degrees earned with academic studies beyond the bachelor's.

Let's talk about the child care that {CHILD} spent the most time in on a regular basis during the summer. 
Did {CHILD} spend the most time receiving child care from a relative, a non‐relative in a private home, or 
a day care center or extended day program?   
IF HOURS OF CARE ARE EQUAL BETWEEN TYPES OF CARE, USE CODES “4”, “5”, “6,” OR “7”. 
HELP TEXT: 
Care from a relative: Record care or programs provided by someone other than the child’s parents in a 
private home. The private home may be the child’s home, the caregiver’s home, or another home.  In all 
cases, do not include care provided by a parent, even if they do not live in the household. (Do not 
include  visitation with a separated or divorced parent who does not have custody.) 
If there is at least one parent in the household, any relative living in the household is eligible to be 
counted as a care arrangement, if the care is provided on a regularly scheduled basis.  Relatives outside 
the household may also be regular care providers. 
If neither parent lives in the household, do not include care provided by guardians who live with the 
child (they are similar to parents). 
Relative care arrangements may or may not have a charge or fee. 
Care from a non‐relative: Non‐relative care is provided by someone not related to the child and is 
located in a private home.  The private home may be the child’s home, the caregiver’s home, or another 
home. 
If there is at least one parent in the household, any nonrelative living in the household is eligible to be 
counted as a care arrangement, IF the care is given on a regularly scheduled basis. 
If neither parent lives in the household, do not include care provided by guardians who live with the 
child (they are treated the same as parents). 
Non‐relative care arrangements or programs may or may not have a charge or fee. 
Day Care Center: Includes any type of formal program that provides care and supervision. It may be in a 
child's school or in another location, such as a church or a free‐standing building. Head Start programs, 
nursery schools, preschools, and prekindergarten programs that include children who are older (some of 
which may be sponsored by the state) are also included. 

Extended Day Program:  Center‐based program that provides care after or before day time hours. 
Regular Basis:  An arrangement or program occurring on a routine schedule (i.e., occurring at least 
weekly or on some other schedule).  Do not include occasional babysitting or "back up" arrangements 
that are just used once in a while.  Also, do not include going away to stay with a relative for a period of
