Description

Definition

HHDEATHYRVIONO reports the number of household members who died due to injury from violence in the past 12 months. Such an injury might have been the result of an assault, a fight, or self-harm.

The information in HHDEATHYRVIONO 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.
