What is {your/{NAME}'s} relationship to {CHILD}?
{CODE RELATIONSHIP OF NEW HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS ONLY.}
HELP TEXT:
Mother/Female Guardian: The female primarily responsible for the child. Includes birth or biological mothers,
adoptive, step, foster, and other mothers, as well as legal female guardians.
Father/Male Guardian: The male primarily responsible for the child. Includes birth or biological fathers,
adoptive, step, foster, and other fathers, as well as legal male guardians.
Sister: Include biological (full, half), adoptive, step, and foster sisters.
Brother: Include biological (full, half), adoptive, step, and foster brothers.
Girlfriend or Female Partner of CHILD's Parent/Guardian: The female who has a "partner-like" relationship
with one of the child's parents or guardians. "Living as married" is another way of describing the relationship.
Boyfriend or Male Partner of CHILD's Parent/Guardian: The male who has a "partner-like" relationship with
one of the child's parents or guardians. "Living as married" is another way of describing the relationship.
Grandmother: The female parent of the child's biological or adoptive mother or father.
Grandfather: The male parent of the child's biological or adoptive mother or father.
Aunt: The sister of the child's biological or adoptive mother or father or the wife of the child's uncle.
Uncle: The brother of the child's biological or adoptive mother or father or the husband of the child's aunt.
Cousin: A child of the focal child's uncle, aunt, or cousin.
Other Relative: Refers to relationships that aren't specifically listed, such as great grandmother, niece, or
nephew.
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."

HOUSEHOLD;

2) IF A MOTHER (RELATION=1) IS IN THE HOUSEHOLD SHE SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE; IF A FATHER
(RELATION =2) IS IN THE HOUSEHOLD HE SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE; IF THERE ARE TWO MOTHERS
(RELATION=1), PICK THE MOTHER WITH THE LOWER NUMBER RELATIONSHIP IN THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM:
BIRTH MOTHER =1, ADOPTIVE MOTHER=2, STEPMOTHER=3, FOSTER MOTHER OR FEMALE GUARDIAN =4.
OTHER TYPE OF MOTHER = 5. IF TWO MOTHERS HAVE SAME NUMBER RELATIONSHIP, OR IF THE
RELATIONSHIP IN FSQ.140 WAS REFUSED OR DON’T KNOW, PICK ONE WITH LOWEST PERSON NUMBER. IF
THERE ARE TWO FATHERS (RELATION=2), PICK THE FATHER WITH THE LOWER NUMBER RELATIONSHIP IN
THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM: BIRTH FATHER =1, ADOPTIVE FATHER=2, STEPFATHER=3, FOSTER FATHER OR
MALE GUARDIAN =4, AND OTHER TYPE OF FATHER = 5. IF TWO FATHERS HAVE SAME NUMBER
RELATIONSHIP, OR IF THE RELATIONSHIP IN FSQ.150 WAS REFUSED OR DON’T KNOW, PICK ONE WITH
LOWEST PERSON NUMBER. CHILDREN’S PARENTS WITH RELATION = 1 OR 2 SHOULD BE THE KEY PARENT
FIGURES WHETHER OR NOT ONE OF THE PARENTS IS THE RESPONDENT.
• 3) IF THERE IS A MOTHER (RELATION =1) BUT NO FATHER (RELATION=2) AND THE MOTHER HAS A MALE
(FSQ.140 =1) SPOUSE/PARTNER (SPOUSE/PARTNER, HERE AND IN OTHER PARTS OF THIS BOX, IS DEFINED AS
A SPOUSE/PARTNER HAVING BEEN SELECTED AT FSQ.120), THE MOTHER SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE
AND THE MALE SPOUSE/PARTNER SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE. ELSE, IF THERE IS A MOTHER
(RELATION =1) BUT NO FATHER (RELATION=2) AND THERE ARE TWO MOTHERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD, THE
MOTHER (IDENTIFIED WITH THE SAME CRITERIA AS IN BULLET 2 IF THERE ARE TWO MOTHERS) SHOULD BE
A KEY PARENT FIGURE AND THE OTHER MOTHER IN THE HOUSEHOLD (WHO HAS A 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 (FSQ.140 =2), 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. IF THE SEX OF THE SPOUSE/PARTNER OF A PARENT
(RELATION = 1 OR 2) IS UNKNOWN (FSQ140 = REF OR DK), THE PARENT AND THE SPOUSE/PARTNER OF THE
PARENT SHOULD STILL EACH BE KEY PARENT FIGURES.
(NOTE: IN HOUSEHOLDS WITH TWO MOTHERS AND NO FATHER, 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. ALSO, IN TWO MOTHER
FAMILIES WITHOUT A FATHER, IF A MOTHER WHO TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER ANOTHER MOTHER (BY
RELATIONSHIP NUMBER OR PERSON NUMBER AS INDICATED IN BULLET 2 ABOVE) IS NOT THE
RESPONDENT, BUT IS THE SPOUSE/PARTNER OF THE OTHER MOTHER WHO IS THE RESPONDENT, BOTH
MOTHERS SHOULD BE KEY PARENT FIGURES RATHER THAN SETTING THE MOTHER THAT TAKES
PRECEDENCE AS BOTH THE KEY FEMALE AND KEY MALE 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
(RELATION=2) AND THERE ARE TWO FATHERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD, THE FATHER (IDENTIFIED WITH THE
SAME CRITERIA AS IN BULLET 2 IF THERE ARE TWO FATHERS) SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE AND THE
OTHER FATHER IN THE HOUSEHOLD (WHO HAS A DIFFERENT PERSON NUMBER THAN THE FATHER
IDENTIFIED AS A KEY PARENT FIGURE) SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE.
ELSE, IF THERE IS A FATHER (RELATION=2) BUT NO MOTHER (RELATION=1) AND THE FATHER HAS A MALE
SPOUSE/PARTNER, THE FATHER (IDENTIFIED WITH THE SAME CRITERIA AS IN BULLET 2 IF THERE ARE TWO
FATHERS) SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT FIGURE AND HIS MALE SPOUSE/PARTNER (WHO HAS A DIFFERENT
PERSON NUMBER THAN THE FATHER IDENTIFIED AS A KEY PARENT FIGURE) SHOULD BE A KEY PARENT
FIGURE. (NOTE: IN HOUSEHOLDS WITH TWO FATHERS AND NO MOTHER, EACH FATHER FIGURE CAN ONLY
OCCUPY ONE OF THE TWO KEY PARENT FIGURE SLOTS. IF FATHER FIGURE #2 QUALIFIES AS A KEY 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. ALSO, IN TWO

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: 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 hand-flapping 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
self-mutilation. 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

Page 13 of 59

2012-08-22 15:19

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 of depression are sleeping too much, poor appetite, feelings of severe
worthlessness, hallucinations or strange beliefs about the past.
Depression: Some signs of depression are frequent sadness, loss of interest or enjoyment of activities, low
energy, isolation from friends, sleeping too much, poor appetite, a severe sense of worthlessness, problems
with concentration, frequent complaints of physical illnesses, and thoughts of suicide or destructive behavior.
