This thesis describes the evolution of a research design intended to explore an ethnically heterogeneous, mobile, lower socioeconomic population of an area in downtown Montreal. The work culminated in the development, pretest and analysis of an interview schedule. The following variables are incorporated in this schedule: the independent variables are household predicaments inferred from issues in food, clothing, health and occupation; the dependent variable is the householder's ability to cape with predicaments arising from the need to satisfy these requirements in the maintenance of a household. Degrees of predicaments are to be assessed by their effect on role performance (role handicap); effectiveness of coping is similarly identified by the degree of role handicap remaining. The results of the pretest of this schedule on seventeen respondents is discussed, mainly in terms of errors of omission and commission in the construction of the schedule.
