HI  
We are doing a survey on Adolescents and will be interviewing adolescent  
girls (10 to 19 age). We have a registration module, a household module  
(one for each household) and an adolescent module (to be asked to each  
adolescent). We are stuck at a point where; there would be more than one  
adolescent girls in a household. In those cases, we would be filling up the  
information for the household once for all the adolescents on that  
household. Could you please help us how to link those adolescent modules to  
the HH module because, it may be so that all the adolescent modules in the  
household might not be done on the same day. If there are 2 adolescents and  
the the monitor goes on a different date to conduct the interview of the  
second adolescent, how is she going to link it to that household. The name  
of the respondents (as understood) would be different in both the  
interviews.

Regards

Hello,

This is definitely possible to do using Child Cases:  
[https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Child+Cases](https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Child+Cases)

You can register new adolescents in the household module - users will  
register a household or select a previously registered household and  
register adolescent cases. These cases will then show up in the adolescent  
module but remain linked to the household.

You can also use Parent/Child case selection in the Case List/Details for  
the Adolescent module (  
[https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Case+List+and+Case+Detail+Configuration#CaseListandCaseDetailConfiguration-ParentChildSelection](https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Case+List+and+Case+Detail+Configuration#CaseListandCaseDetailConfiguration-ParentChildSelection)  
).  
This will make it so that your users will choose a household and then be  
able to see and update all adolescent cases associated with that household.

Hope this helps!

Jeremy
