Household Survey Results
Final Annotated Survey Questionnaire
October 2001

Professional interviewers administer this questionnaire using computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI). In addition to the answer categories displayed for each question, the interviewer has the option to enter "don’t know" or "refused" but these categories are not displayed on-screen.

The questionnaire consists of eight sections: an introduction section, followed by six "subject matter" sections and an interviewer close-out section:

Formatting conventions for this document:

• Question/answer text in boldface type displays verbatim text to read to respondent. Within such text, words or phrases enclosed in brackets [ ], such as in Question G0050, will change depending upon time frames or respondent responses to previous items. Words or phrases enclosed in parentheses ( ), such as in Question F0453, are optional and should be read to respondent as part of the question only when needed.
• Answer text in regular type is not read aloud to respondent. Instead, the interviewer will wait for response and categorize it into one of the listed categories.
• TEXT IN ALL CAPS displays on-screen instructions to the interviewer or questions that the interviewer answers.
• Text in italics provides CATI system instructions or options, such as skips or fills.
