Definition
GEO_ GN1999_2012 indicates the region of Guinea where the respondent was interviewed. The variable is integrated to yield units with consistent boundaries across samples.
Labels identify modern geographic units (regions) contained in each integrated region. Each sample also has its own non-integrated geography variable. All Guinea samples have greater geographic detail available in their sample-specific variables. Additional integrated variables, GEOALT_GN1999_2012 and GEO_GN2005_2012, contain greater geographic detail as well.
