Description

Definition
HHORPHANNO (HV251) indicates the number of orphans and vulnerable children in the household.

The information in HHORPHANNO 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 when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
