Description
STOTHAGO reports how many months or years have passed since the household, or any member of the household, received support from some other social transfer. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample.
The information in STOTHAGO 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.
