Description

Definition
For female household members, HWFMEASCODE (HA21) reports the code assigned to the person measuring their height and weight. Codes are sample-specific; a given numeric code in one sample refers to a different person than the same numeric code in another sample.

Using the measurer codes, researchers can evaluate whether the quality of responses (e.g., the number of "out of range" cases) depended on the person measuring the woman.
