The content of these forms was determined after review of the 1980 census experience, extensive consultation with many government and private users of census data, and a series of experimental censuses and surveys in which various alternatives were tested. Two principal types of data-collection forms a 100-percent questionnaire (or "short form") and a sample questionnaire (or "long form") are being used in the census. Each household receives one of the two questionnaires. Short form - This questionnaire contains 7 population questions and 7 housing questions, shown on pages 1-3 of this booklet.
