Description

CHHEDTAKETEXTS reports how often the child selected for the child education module (CHHEDKIDLINENO) brings textbooks and other reading materials home from school. Responses range from "never" to "always."

The information in CHHEDTAKETEXTS is taken from the household record and applies to regular household members, 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.
