Description
VCRNUM reports the number of videocassette recorders (VCRs) owned by the household.
The related variable DVDVCD indicates whether the household has a machine for playing DVDs, CDs, or videocassettes.
Comparability
VCRNUM has no comparability problems.
The information in VCRNUM 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").
Comparability - Standard DHS
VCRNUM is a country-specific household variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
