Interviewer instructions
Survey Coordinators: Adapt the response categories to include locally relevant roof materials. Circle the correct code for the material of the dwelling roof, based on your observation. You will be able to observe the correct answer in most cases, but if in doubt, ask. If there is more than one kind of material making up the roof, record the main roofing material (the material that covers the largest amount of roof).
