number of the first household that refused, which in this 

 case was number 17. 



C. Consumers not at Honyg 



When no one is at home at a designated household the 

 first time you try to get an interview, call on a neighbor 

 to see if you can find out when the consumer in question 

 will be home and then make your return call accordingly. If 

 you get no information from the neighbor, you might make 

 additional calls the same day while you are in the neighbor- 

 hood. If you leave the neighborhood and haven't been able 

 to contact the consumer in question, make 2 more calls on 2 

 different days or evenings. If after this time you cannot 

 contact the consumer -wTite down the address and the name of 

 the consumer, if you can get it, and turn it in to your 

 supervisor. 



D. Spot checks will be made by your supervisor to insure that 

 the proper households are interviewed and that all questions 

 on the questionnaire have been asked. 



E. Ex?.mple 



To illustrate the foregoing instructions, a diagram of 

 p, ^jample district and the details for determining the indivi- 

 dual households to be interviewed is given below. 



By vjalking around the entire area shown in the diagram 

 the enumerator covints 46 households. Included in this total 

 are 20 individual households, one of which faces an alley and 

 another which is located behind a house that faces the street. 

 There are 6 households in the three duplexes, and 20 units in 

 the apartment building. 



Prior to selecting the households to be interviewed, 

 the enumerator decides that the starting point will be at 

 point "A" (lower right hand corner) and the route to be 

 followed vdU be that indicated by the arrows. The sampling 

 rate given him is 10. The total number of households divided 

 by the sampling rate gives 4 as the estimated n-jmber of inter- 

 views to be taken in the district, /46_ , , •> 



(id" ^*^^- 



From a table of random numbers, it is determined that 

 the number of the first household to be interviewed is 8. 

 I\n interview is completed at this household . The next house- 

 hold to be interviewed, number 18(8 / 10), is not at home. 

 Tiie enumerator obtains information from a neighbor in apart- 

 ment 19 as to the most likely time to contact the household 

 in question and proceeds to the third interviev: which is 

 household 28(18 / 10). The enumerator is refused at 28 so 

 he goes to 29 where he also is refused, but an interview is 

 completed at 30.
