Description

Definition
SUNQUALITY reports the amount of sunlight inside the dwelling, as good, moderate, or bad, based on the observation and judgment of the interviewer. While SUNQUALITY covers natural light, the complementary variable LIGHTQUALITY reports the amount of light from any source in the dwelling.

The information in SUNQUALITY 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.
