Household Data

Since the original data sets that corresponded to the household questionnaires were quite large, we divided them into a few smaller data sets that correspond to the natural divisions in the questionnaires themselves.

For the household interview, a single member of the household was asked questions that pertained to the entire family. The respondent was usually the oldest living woman in the home since she was available to be interviewed during the daytime. Any attempt to identify one person as the "household head" is as problematic in Russia as it is in the United States. Thus, the interviewer was instructed to speak with "the person who knows the most about this family's shopping and health."

The table below presents the files that exist from the household questionnaires.
