Description

Definition
HEALTHFACTRANS reports the woman's usual method of transportation to the nearest health facility.

The information in HEALTHFACTRANS is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
