Description

Definition
CHHEDKIDBOOKSHOM reports how many children's books and other children's reading materials are currently in the house. Grouped responses range from "none" to "21 or more."

The information in CHHEDKIDBOOKSHOM is taken from the household record and applies to regular household members, 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.
