Description

Definition
WHOFETCHFEMAD indicates whether a female adult member of the household recently fetched the household's water supply

For most samples, the type of person (by age and sex) primarily responsible for fetching the household's water is documented in WHOFETCHAGE (HV236).

The information in WHOFETCHFEMAD 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.
