Question Text & Interviewer Instructions
Each question is divided into two components where applicable: question text and interviewer
instructions. Question text, that is the text that is to be read to respondents, is enclosed in quotation
marks. Interviewers are to read question text verbatim in order to ensure that questions are asked
in a consistent fashion. Answer choices are only to be read if indicated in the instructional section.
Interviewer instructions are enclosed in boxes with double-lined borders. Instructional text is
not to read to respondents unless otherwise indicated. In the example below, the interviewer is
instructed to read answer choices (they are not to be read unless instructed) and mark all answers
that apply. The mark all that apply instruction is simply a reminder. Recall that square check boxes
also denote multiple-response items thereby indicating that the interviewers may key all answers that
apply.
