Description

PICKUP indicates whether the household has a pickup or other type of truck.

The related variables CAR and CARHH (with data from the women's and household record, respectively) cover ownership of either a car or a truck for many samples.

The information in PICKUP 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.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, PICKUP is largely comparable across samples.

Comparability - Standard DHS

PICKUP is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS household questionnaire.
