Description

Definition
CHIMHOOD (HV240) indicates whether households that cook with an open fire or stove have a chimney or hood for ventilation.

The information in CHIMHOOD is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
