Description

For households that ever received other (not money or food) assistance, OTHASSISTSRC indicates whether the assistance was from a government or non-governmental organization.

OTHASSISTYN is a related variable that indicates whether the household ever received any other (not money or food) assistance.

The information in OTHASSISTSRC 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").
