Description

GASSTOVE indicates whether the household has a gas stove.

The information in GASSTOVE is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, using the HHRESIDENT when household members are the unit of analysis, and using RESIDENTMN when men are the unit of analysis.

The related variable STOVE indicates whether the household has a gas or electric stove.
