Description

Definition
DEATHTOHHVIS2YRNO reports the number of deaths to visitors to this household during the past 2 years, "in this city/town/village or outside."

The related variable DEATHTOHHVIS2YR indicates whether there were any deaths to visitors to this household during the past 2 years.

The information in DEATHTOHHVIS2YRNO is taken from the household record and applies, as a characteristic of the household, to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
