| Te | demographic characteristics b-out d-out qh |
| HN | ETOH descriptor 1995. | |
| SN | These descriptors are used primarily for the characterization of people, families/households, or groups. For characterizing the age, sex, and family relationship of animals use descriptors from *+TA
age* qh ah and *+TE gender* qh ah and *+TW2 status by family relationship* qh ah combined with
*+RJ6.2 animal study* qh ah or one of its narrower terms.
There are many points of view from which a person or group can be characterized. They are brought together in this section for convenient reference. By and large, the demographic and personal characteristics are arranged by the increasing control a person has over the characteristic (or increasing influence of the environment on the characteristic). For example, a person has no control over age or gender but a good deal of control over type of residence. Marital status is placed early, in violation of this principle, because it is a basic characteristic often asked early on questionnaires. | |
