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

−
The number of roster members between the ages of 40 and 59 was the same
between the two pair members.
• If the side associated with the nonzero count identified two grandparents, the
following additional condition was required:
−
The number of roster members aged 50 or older was the same between the
two pair members.
11. The counts might not agree because a pair member's partner did not consider the
other pair member’s family as his or her own family. If at least one side identified a
partner and the maximum count was 1, then the maximum was selected if both pair
members had the same number of household members aged 15 or older. Otherwise, if
the pair members had a different number of household members aged 15 or older, the
count belonging to the pair member with a count of household members aged 15 or
older closer to that of the screener was used as the final count.
12. The counts might not agree because a pair member had two grandparents and an
uncle/aunt husband-wife pair in the household. The maximum was selected if the pair
member associated with the smaller count had a grandparent and had at least two
roster members who were neither parents, siblings, children, spouses, partners, or
grandparents, and the pair member with the larger count had children-in-law.
13. The count of the number of spouse-spouse pairs might not agree because one of the
pairs was a sibling and sibling-in-law, and there are no codes for sibling-in-law. The
maximum count was selected if the pair member with the smaller count did not have
a spouse or partner but did have siblings aged 15 or older, and there were household
members in his or her roster that were not parents, children, siblings, spouses,
partners, grandchildren, or grandparents.
14. The count of the number of spouse-spouse pairs might not agree because one side had
no nuclear family or grandparent-grandchild relationship codes, and one of the
selected respondents was not in a child-parent, child-grandparent, or spouse-spouse
relationship. The maximum count was selected if the following conditions were met:
• The pair member's roster associated with the minimum count (usually 0) had no
children, parents, siblings, spouses, partners, grandchildren, or grandparents
among respondents aged 12 or older, and
• The pair member's roster associated with the maximum count had some roster
members who were not children, parents, siblings, spouses, partners,
grandchildren, or grandparents.
Note that this condition also nabbed cases where the relationship codes were not
correctly identified on one pair member's roster. This occurred rarely, but when it did,
the minimum count was 1 and the maximum count was 2.
