OVERVIEW

    Information about the Graduate Respondent's household was collected in 
    the following manner:
    
    - Information regarding the respondent, spouse, children, and parents
      was gathered in separate modules. Information regarding other household
      members was gathered in the household module.
      
    - The respondent was asked if anybody lives in their household other than 
      individuals discussed previously in the interview.
      
    - For each additional household member, the respondent was asked for the 
      individual's relationship to the respondent, name, sex, age, and 
      length of time living together.
      
    - After information was collected on each additional household member, 
      the respondent was asked if anybody in the household had a physical or
      mental condition, illness, or disability. If so, details of this 
      condition were gathered.
