Description

Definition
CONSUMDEFICITFQ reports whether the household's (food) consumption could be best characterized as surplus, neither surplus nor deficit, occasional deficit, or always in deficit.

The information in CONSUMDEFICITFQ is taken from the household record and applies to household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors (coded "2") using:

RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis;
HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis;
RESIDENTMN variable when men are the unit of analysis.
