Description

Definition
TVHH (HV208) indicates whether any member of the household has a television. Some samples specified that the TV must be in working order. See Comparability.

The information in TVHH 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 when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
