Description

Definition

FOODASSISTYN indicates whether the household ever received any food assistance from either a government or non-governmental organization.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FOODASSISTYN may also be interested in FOODASSISTSRC, a related variable that reports the source of this assistance.

The information in FOODASSISTYN 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").
