Comparability
Apart from universe differences, CHAIR is comparable across most samples. The question was usually phrased as "Does your household have a chair?" Surveys with substantially different question wording are noted below.
The information in CHAIR 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").
