Questionnaire Dwelling Unit-Level and Person Pair-Level Sampling ...

with parent(s) in the household) for the two sides agreed. However, both sides had to
meet the following conditions in order for the final count to be set to one of the sides:
• Either no bad ages with the relevant relationship codes and no bad relationship
codes within the relevant age ranges, or the counts of children with parent(s) in
the household were equal to the screener age counts, or a side with good data
indicated siblings within the relevant age range living together in a household
without parents;
• No situations where parents were not identified in the household, but some in the
household had bad relationship codes and were old enough to be parents.
• No counts of one child in the relevant child-age range when both members of the
pair were in that range and the children were siblings;
• No pairs where the ages of the identified parents did not match, the pair members
were not siblings, and both sides had relationship codes signifying "other relative"
or a nonrelative, indicating more than one family unit in the household; and 34
• The household size was greater than 1 and was nonmissing on both sides.
2. The counts of children with parent(s) in the household might have agreed even
though the above conditions were not met. The final count of children with parent(s)
in the household could still have been set to one of the sides, if any one of the
following was true:
• If the number of children within the relevant age ranges matched across both
rosters and the screener and (at least) one side had all good age and relationship
codes, provided the equal counts did not refer to the same children; 35
• If both sides had a count of zero children with parent(s) in the household, both
had a roster, and (at least) one side had all good age and relationship codes;
• If both sides had a count of zero children with parent(s) in the household, both
had a roster, and the number of respondents who were old enough to be parents in
the household was zero according to the screener; or
• If the counts of children with parent(s) in the household that agreed with each
other equalled or exceeded the count of the number of children from the screener
within the relevant age ranges.
3. The counts of children with parent(s) in the household might have agreed with a value
of 1. If both pair members were children within the relevant age range, and both
indicated they had parents even though the children were siblings, then they were not
34 Codes that indicate "other relative" or a nonrelative are 7 (roommate), 8 (child-in-law), 10 (parent-inlaw),
12 (boarder), 13 (other relative), and 14 (other nonrelative).
35 This was determined by excluding situations where the ages of the identified parents did not match, the
pair members were not siblings, and both sides had relationship codes signifying "other relative" or a nonrelative,
indicating more than one family unit in the household.
