Codes and Frequencies
Description
SMARTPHONE indicates whether the household owns a smart phone that can access the Internet.
The information in SMARTPHONE is taken from the household record. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, and births are the unit of analysis, using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis, and using the RESIDENTMN variable when men are the unit of analysis.
