Interviewer instructions

for family members, relatives or friends in an informal capacity (without pay) over some
extended period of time. The person in question might be in the respondent’s household or they might be in another household. The nature of the help that is provided to the
person encompasses a broad range of activities (described more fully below). These activities may include bathing, feeding, household chores, assistance with transport, etc., to mention but a few activities (SEE BELOW).
