Comparability

Along with universe differences, STOVE varies in question wording across samples. Some of this variation is superficial--such as the use of the American term "stove" versus the equivalent British term "cooker." More significant are variations in whether and what kinds of power sources are specified, with "gas or electric cooker/stove" the most common terminology. Other variations in question wording are noted below.

The information in STOVE 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").
