Standard procedures for conducting household-based surveys require obtaining a list of household residents. These lists, called rosters are used for complete enumeration of the household, for randomized selection of respondents, and for establishing the eligibility of certain household members for particular questions. However, since rosters are one of the first parts of the survey encountered by respondents, they are likely to have a role in creating the over-all context in which the respondent interprets the survey. For example, in self-administered census questionnaires, roster pages often contain titles, explanations, and other cues which respondents can use to form expectations about the task ahead.
