Description
Definition
TOILETDEFEM reports "where adult women in your household usually defecate." This question wording is an alternative to the more common question about the household's type of toilet facility, in TOILETTYPE.
The related variable TOILETDEFKID reports the type of toilet facility used by the household's children.
The information in TOILETDEFEM 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.
