Codes and Frequencies
Description
CAMPSTOVE indicates whether the household had a portable, or camp, stove.
The related variable STOVE indicates whether then household had any type of stove, with some samples referring to gas or electricity as the stove's power source.
Comparability
The information in STOVE 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, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
Comparability - Standard DHS
CAMPSTOVE is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
