Description
FIACTOTH indicates whether the household took some other action to avoid or deal with food insufficiency. The meaning of "other" depends on the actions specified in a given survey.
The information in FIACTOTH is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors (coded "2") using:
HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis;
RESIDENTMN variable when men are the unit of analysis.
