ValueSet: ICR Relationship to Head of Household

Official URL: https://icr.healthcampaigns.org/ValueSet/icr-relationship-to-head Version: 0.1.0
Draft as of 2026-10-29 Computable Name: ICRRelationshipToHeadVS

How a household member relates to the household's reference head — the question census and DHS household rosters ask. The three ICR codes (head, co-head, non-relative), the HL7 v3 RoleCode categories with their descendants (spouse, child, child-in-law, grandchild, parent, parent-in-law, sibling, adopted / foster / stepchild), v3 FAMMEMB for other relatives (code only; it is broader than the census 'other relative', so keep the source category in text where it matters) and v3 NullFlavor UNK for don't know. Binding: extensible on the relationship-to-head extension.

http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-NullFlavor  UNKunknown

**Description:**A proper value is applicable, but not known.

Usage Notes: This means the actual value is not known. If the only thing that is unknown is how to properly express the value in the necessary constraints (value set, datatype, etc.), then the OTH or UNC flavor should be used. No properties should be included for a datatype with this property unless:

  1. Those properties themselves directly translate to a semantic of "unknown". (E.g. a local code sent as a translation that conveys 'unknown')
  2. Those properties further qualify the nature of what is unknown. (E.g. specifying a use code of "H" and a URL prefix of "tel:" to convey that it is the home phone number that is unknown.)
