Description

Definition

FRIDGEHH (HV209) indicates whether the household has a refrigerator. Some samples specified that the refrigerator must be working or owned by the household. See Comparability.

The information in FRIDGEHH 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.
