PROGRAMMER: Ask only if more than one child in household


CH01B. Which child has the next birthday?

Response ________


PROGRAMMER: Use child’s name, from the response to CH02, in the following questions, referenced as [CHILD]. IF respondent refuses to give a name, use generic “this child”.


INTERVIEWER: Ok, please consider this child when answering the following questions.



CH02. Is [CHILD/this child] under your care?


  1. YES

  2. NO (SKIP TO GC01)


88. DON’T KNOW

99. REFUSED/MISSING


INTERVIEWER:

  • The phrase “under your care” does not require the child to be solely under the respondent’s care. Both parents in a household, a guardian, grandparent, or older adult sibling could define a child as under their care.

  • Divorced parents who have shared custody may or may not consider children to be under their care and in their household. Two parents with the same objective situation may define this differently, but the important thing is that it be their own perception of whether the child is under their care and in their household.

  • It’s up to the respondent; a divorced parent who only has the children in their household occasionally may or may not define the children as in their household or under their care.

  • Another example would be a grandparent. Depending how the grandparent respondent defines it, a child who does not live in their home may or may not be “in the same household” and may or may not be “under their care.”
