Description

Definition
COOKFACIL reports the type of cooking facility used by household members. The response categories distinguish both whether the facilities were for the household's exclusive use and where the facilities were located.

The related variable COOKWHERE also reports where a household's cooking is usually done. Included in a large number of samples, COOKWHERE has response categories that cannot be harmonized with the response categories in COOKFACIL.

The information in COOKFACIL 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.
