Description

Definition
NATCATEFWOUND indicates whether the wounding of a household member was an effect of a natural disaster in the past 12 months.

The information in NATCATEFWOUND 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.
