Description
ATEFRUIT24H indicates whether the woman respondent ate fruit during the previous day, either at night or during the daytime.
Some samples in this series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, such as ATEOFRTVEG24H, while preserving the separate responses in separate variables.
