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

5. The pair members might both have had zero counts, but the above conditions did not
apply. The final count could still have been 0 if the age counts for both pair members
and the screener indicated nobody lived in the household who was younger than 18
and there were no bad roster ages. (In this case, it was not necessary to check for the
potential of two or more family units in the household.)
6. The counts for both pair members might still have agreed with nonzero counts, even
though none of the previous conditions applied. The final count could still have been
set to one of the pair member's counts if the pair relationship was imputed to be a
spouse-spouse pair with children.
7. If one pair member did not have a valid roster but the other member did, the final
count was set to the other pair member's count under one of the following conditions:
• The count for the pair member with the valid roster was nonzero and equal to the
final spouse-spouse count, or
• There were no bad relationship codes for roster members younger than 18, and
one of the following conditions held for the pair member with the valid roster.
Either:
−
−
−
The pair member's roster had no bad relationship codes for roster members
aged 15 or older,
The pair member was older than 18 and had neither children nor siblings
younger than 18 (covers zero counts since no bad codes were for members
younger than 18), or
The pair member was younger than 18 and did not have parents, but there was
one bad relationship code among roster members older than 18 in that pair
member's roster (covers zero counts since only one bad relationship code
could potentially be a single parent but not a pair of parents making a couple).
8. The pair member with the valid roster might have had a zero count, but the above
conditions did not apply. The final count could still have been 0 if the age counts for
both the pair member with the valid roster and the screener indicated nobody lived in
the household who was younger than 18 and there were no bad roster ages. (In this
case, it was not necessary to check for the potential of two or more family units in the
household.)
9. If the spouse-spouse-with-children counts disagreed in the same manner as the
spouse-spouse counts disagreed, then the choice was obvious: Use the count that
corresponded to the correct spouse-spouse count. (In this case, it was not necessary to
check for the potential of two or more family units in the household.) Details follow:
• If the spouse-spouse-with-children counts were equal to the spouse-spouse counts
for both pair members, even though they were unequal to each other, then the
final spouse-spouse-with-children count was set to the final spouse-spouse count.
