Description

Definition
HWFWHYNOTMEAS (HA13) indicates whether the female household member of childbearing age was measured for height and weight, or, if not, why she was not measured. All "no" responses have a common first digit of "2," while the second digit reveals the reason (e.g., not present, refused).
