INTERVIEWER: OBSERVE AND RECORD MAIN WALL MATERIAL. IF NOT SURE ASK RESPONDENT
Interviewer instructions
Again, this is not a question that one has to ask the respondent since it is usually possible to see for oneself what kind of material the wall of the room is made of. However, if unsure, ask. If there is more than one kind of wall material, the code for the main wall material is recorded.
