Description

OTHERANNUM reports the number of "other" animals owned by the household. The meaning of "other" depends on the specific animals asked about in a given sample. The related variable OTHERANYN indicates whether the household has any "other" animals.

The information in OTHERANNUM 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 when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.

Comparability

The meaning of "other animals" depends on the types of animals specified in previous survey questions. To determine the types of animals covered by OTHERANNUM, users should consult the related variables on agricultural animal ownership or the surrounding survey text to determine the meaning for a specific sample.

Comparability - Standard DHS

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