Description

Definition

HHMEMTOTAL (V136) reports the total number of members of the woman's household.

According to the DHS Recode Manuals, HHMEMTOTAL is calculated by summing "the number of usual residents and the number of visitors who slept in the house the previous night that were listed in the household schedule." "Usual residents" of the household are identified by the RESIDENT variable.
