Description

Definition
FIFEWMEALSFQ reports how often household members ate fewer meals per day due to a lack of resources (never, rarely, sometimes, or often).

The information in FIFEWMEALSFQ 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.
