Residents of age six years and over
[Question 26 through 33 asked of resident persons aged 6 and older.]
33. Secondary occupation
Ask questions as indicated in the manual ____
Attention: Questions 26-32 apply only to residents of the household who are at least 6 years of age. Therefore, these questions do not apply to: visitors, any and all resident children (present or absent) who are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years of age, or born in 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, or, 1993, or who were born between November 1 and December 31, 1992.
Resident children (present or absent) born between January 1 and October 31, 1992, are now 6 years of age; therefore, questions 26-32 apply to them.
Special case: For any child who is a resident (present or absent) and was born in 1992, without the month being specified, questions 26-32 apply. For resident children (present or absent) to whom questions 26-32 do not apply, draw a slash through column 26 and the following columns.
Question 33: Secondary occupation
This question is addressed exclusively to employed people who have declared an occupation in Column 30: "Current occupation"
The secondary occupation of an individual who has declared himself or herself employed, refers to any additional work he or she performs outside the activity declared in Column 30, "Current occupation." In this context, this variable has been added in order to seek individuals who have the ability to treat diseases.
How to conduct the interview on secondary occupation?
Ask the question: "Do you treat certain diseases?"
1. If "YES," ask, "How do you treat diseases, or what do you use to treat diseases?" Depending on the answer given, enter the declared health care activity. We make a distinction between:
- a traditional therapist, a person who diagnoses and treats diseases and disabilities. This category includes:
the naturotherapist, who uses techniques based on hygiene and nutrition;
the herbalist, who uses plants in treatment;
the psychotherapist, who treats patients using techniques based on social experience and the patient-therapist relationship, sometimes drawing upon the power of the spoken word, known as incantation;
the spiritualist, who may or may not use religious rites for healing purposes: shaman, marabout;
the chiro-physiotherapist, who practices with bare hands or with instruments, massages, or body modifications to heal the affected part of the body.
- A traditional midwife is a person who is recognized as competent to deliver babies and provide care to the mother and newborn.
- An herbalist is a person who knows the uses of plants and sells them.
- A druggist is a person who knows the uses of plant, animal, or mineral substances and sells them.
2. If "no," ask, "Do you have another occupation outside of the one declared in Column 30? [read what the person said in Column 30]"
If "yes," as, "What is that activity?" Enter the declared activity.
If "no," draw a slash through the column (the individual has no secondary occupation).
