SECTION A: HOUSEHOLD LISTING AND CIRCUMSTANCE OF THE DEATH

A1. First, I need to list all the people who live here. I don't need names, just the age, sex and relationship to you for each person. Let's start with you. How old are you?

Now I need the age, sex and relationship to you of any other adults and children who live here.
