The Codebook also presents information on cases that are known anomalies. The Codebook should be used in conjunction with the Survey Instruments (MR-107, MR-107/1) and the User's Guide (MR-109) for the MFLS-2. The Survey Instruments provide the details regarding the actual questions asked and the motivation behind those questions.
