Comparability
Along with universe differences, CANOE has some differences in question wording across samples. The question was most often phrased as "Does any member of this household own a canoe [or boat]?" Some surveys noted below also asked about ownership of fishing nets.
The information in CANOE is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
