Description

GEO_ CM1991_2018 reports the region of Cameroon where the respondent was interviewed. The variable is integrated to yield units with consistent boundaries across samples.

Labels identify the modern geographic units (grouped regions) contained in each integrated region. Each sample also has its own non-integrated geography variable. All Cameroon samples have greater geographic detail available in their sample-specific variables than in this integrated variable. An additional integrated variable, GEO_CM2004_2018, contains greater geographic detail (regions).
