Description

Definition
FIFASTALLDAYFQ reports how often any member(s) of the household went a whole day and night without eating due to a lack of food (never, rarely, sometimes, or often).

The information in FIFASTALLDAYFQ is taken from the household record and applies to household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors (coded "2") using:

RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis;
HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis;
RESIDENTMN variable when men are the unit of analysis.
