Hello! In question 6 i am a bit confused with the following sentence: "After the survey is completed, someone suggests assessing its effectiveness by comparing the demographic distributions (such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, and gender) of the "most knowledgeable" health informant with the demographic distributions of adults from the previous census." Do I understand correctly that in the years before they didn't ask for the most knowledgeable person to provide the answer? And they want to see the demographic changes between asking for the most knowledgeable person and not asking for the most knowledgeable person?

@Nienke-Visscher

The suggestion is to compare the census data, which estimates the distribution of a population, with the survey information provided by the "most knowledgeable" health informant in each household to evaluate the quality of the survey. This is comparing a census with the survey data.
