(NATCATEFOTHER)
Effect of natural disaster: Other
Codes and Frequencies
Description
NATCATEFOTHER indicates whether the household experienced some "other" effect of a natural disaster in the past 12 months. The meaning of "other" depends on the effects of a natural catastrophe specified in a survey.
The information in NATCATEFOTHER 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.
