Description

Definition
HHDEATHYRNO (HV250) indicates the number of household members who died in the 12 months before the survey.

The information in HHDEATHYRNO 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.
