Interviewer instructions

Questions for usual members of households
Questions P09 to P013 should only be asked to the usual members of that household.

P10. Tribe
Ask for the tribe of the respondent and write the appropriate code in the boxes provided. In a situation where the respondent does not know the tribe of the child because the parents are from different tribes, ask whether they are in the paternal or maternal system. If paternal, take the father's tribe but if maternal, you take the mother's tribe.

Example: If the respondent's tribe is Lomwe, write "05" in the space provided and then shade the appropriate digits in the two rows provided. The codes for tribe are provided in Appendix D.
