Description

Definition
PARALAMPYN indicates whether the household has a lamp that uses paraffin (kerosene) as fuel.

The information in PARALAMPYN is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
