Definition

FIFASTALLDAYFQ reports how often any member(s) of the household went a whole day and night without eating due to a lack of food (never, rarely, sometimes, or often).

RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis;
HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis;
RESIDENTMN variable when men are the unit of analysis.
