Question label:

Absent parent code

Question text:

I'd like to ask some questions about each person with whom you've had children. So that I don't ask the same set of questions twice, I need to record which children you had with each of your partners. We don't need your partner's name, but we'll use a code to identify which children have the same parent.

Question universe:

if CMRoute = 1 (If biological/adoptive parent of child aged under 16 or child aged 16-19 in full-time education, whose other biological/adoptive parent is not currently resident in the HH)
and if CSACalc = 1 | 2 (If child's non-resident biological/adoptive parent is alive)
and if More than one child in hh with a non-resident biological/adoptive parent)
and if EXSAME = 2 (If children have different absent parents)

Question interviewer instructions:

RECORD MOTHER/FATHER CODE. RECORD WHICH CHILDREN HAVE THE SAME MOTHER/FATHER, USING CODES TO INDICATE WHICH CHILDREN HAVE THE SAME PARENT RATHER THAN RECORDING ACTUAL NAMES SO, START WITH THE FIRST CHILD IN YOUR LIST AND CODE THEIR PARENT AS ‘1’, AND CHECK WHICH OTHER CHILDREN HAVE THE SAME PARENT AND ALSO CODE THEM AS ‘1’. THEN FOR RESPONDENT’S SECOND EX-PARTNER CODE ALL THE CHILDREN THAT THEY HAD TOGETHER AS CODE ‘2’, AND SO ON.
