Description

Definition

HCHHVISITWHY reports the main reason why a member of the household recently visited a health care facility or saw a doctor or nurse.

The information in HCHHVISITWHY 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 (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.
