Description

Definition

BATHFACIL reports the type of bathing facility used by household members. The response categories distinguish both whether the facilities were for the household's exclusive use and where the facilities were located.

The information in BATHFACIL 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.
