NNSD6
The NNSD6 interview is administered the year after the NNSD5. It is basically an abbreviated version of the NNSD5 and is unique in that it asks more questions about the effect of romantic relationships on other domains as well as permission to contact a romantic partner. The NNSD6_S interview is then administered with qualifying partners. To skip to a certain section of data, click on the section below.
