The detailed specifications file for the 2007 American Housing Survey
instrument is now available for download from the HUD USER web site,
https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/ahs.html .  This is a zip file
that contains a 12 MB, 2200-page Microsoft Word document giving the
detailed specifications for all items in the Blaise-based 2007 survey
instrument. It is intended for users who need more detail about the
logic of the instrument program than they can get from the instrument
items file.

The instrument items file is already on the web site.  In most cases,
you will be able to find what you want to know about how a question is
phrased, what the responses are, and where it occurs in the instrument
using the smaller file.
