Codes and Frequencies
Description
HCHHANYPAY indicates whether household members paid money for health care services.
The information in HCHHANYPAY 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, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.

Comparability
Along with universe differences, HCHHANYPAY differs across samples in question wording and response categories. To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding for this variable. All affirmative responses share a common first digit of "1"; additional detail only sometimes available is preserved in the second digit (e.g., code "11" for "Token payment").
