Definition
STOTHKNOW indicates whether the respondent for the household questionnaire has heard of other social transfers. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample.
The information in STOTHKNOW 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.
