Hello,
I’m using the ATUS relatew (“who”) variable for a project. The questionnaire text given is “Who was with you? / Who accompanied you?”
The current BLS report (linked below) says that respondents are asked who was “in the room” with them when they’re at home and who “accompanied” them when they’re not at home. Do you know whether or not this is a hard-and-fast rule? For example, if someone is at work (after 2010), are they asked, “Who accompanied you?”
Many thanks!
