Description

MODEM indicates whether the household has a modem or router.

The information in MODEM 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.

Comparability

MODEM has no comparability problems.
