Description

Definition
HCNONGOVWAIT indicates whether long wait times at government facilities explain why the household generally goes elsewhere to treat sickness.

The information in HCNONGOVWAIT is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
