Description
HHDEATHYRACCNO reports the number of household members who died due to an accidental injury in the past 12 months. Such an injury might have been the result of a traffic accident or resulted from a fall, burn, cut, or other type of accident occurring at home, work, school, or elsewhere.
The information in HHDEATHYRACCNO 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.
