(P10A-P10B) Presence of handicap(s)

Columns P10A and P10B: Presence of handicap(s)

A handicap is any physical, auditory, visual or mental incapacity which leads to a slowing of the productive activity of the individual concerned.

These two columns serve to establish the presence or otherwise of a handicap. Pose the following question:
"Does [the respondent] suffer from any kind of handicap?"
If the response is no, record SH son the dotted lines and put the code 0 in the boxes reserved for this purpose in each of the columns P10A and P10B then go to column P11.
If the response is yes, try to find what handicap they suffer from.

Taking account of the response obtained, you will record on the dotted lines the appropriate abbreviation then the code of the nature of the handicap in column P10A. If the person surveyed suffers from another handicap, do the same thing in column P10B. If he suffers from one sole handicap, put SH on the dotted lines and the code 0 in the box of the second column (P10B).
