Description

DIGCAMYN indicates whether the household has a digital camera. The related variable NONDIGCAMYN indicates whether the household has a non-digital camera.

The information in DIGCAMYN is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").

Comparability

DIGCAMYN has no comparability problems.
