Description

Definition
RADIOFQ (V158) reports how often the woman usually listens to the radio (not at all, less than once a week, at least once a week, or almost every day).

For a comparable variable that asks about whether the woman listens to the radio at least once a week, see RADIOWK (V112). For a variable bridging RADIOFQ and RADIOWK (V112), see RADIOBRIG.
