The DHS Program, which manages registration and access for IPUMS DHS, is again reviewing new user applications and requests for expanded access from currently approved users.
DVPSEXFQ
(DVPSEXFQ)Frequency spouse physically forced sex
Codes and Frequencies
Description
For women who were randomly selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module and were ever married or lived with a man, DVPSEXFQ reports how often the woman was forced to have sexual intercourse by her husband/partner in the past 12 months.
Comparability — Index
Comparability
There are universe differences that limit the comparability of DVPSEXFQ across samples.
In addition, response categories for DVPSEXFQ also vary across samples.
Harmonized coding in the IPUMS-DHS variable DVPSEXFQ were constructed to accommodate differences in frequencies reported across surveys. The major categories are:
- 100: Yes, husband ever forced her to have sexual intercourse
- 200: Yes, timing and frequency unknown
The second and third digits of DVPSEXFQ's codes distinguish between specific time periods and provide detail only present in some samples.
Only those countries with comparability issues for this variable are discussed below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DVPSEXFQ is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire for any phase, but it is included in phases V, VI, VII, and VIII of the standard domestic violence module.
Comparability — Colombia [top]
The 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 Colombia surveys reports how many times the womanâs husband/partner physically forced her to have sexual intercourse or perform sexual acts when she did not want to. This combines the responses for both DVPSEX and DVPSEXOTH into one response variable, unlike most surveys which as each as separate questions.
Comparability — Egypt [top]
The universe for the Egypt 2005 sample includes only those women who have ever been sexually forced by their husband. As a consequence, the category "Not physically forced sexually" is not available for that sample. For all other samples, "Not physically forced sexually" indicates that the woman had never been sexually forced by her husband/partner.
To achieve comparability across all samples, analysts may wish to recode DVPSEXFQ for Egypt 2005 so that persons who have a "No" response in DVPSEX (D105H) are coded in DVPSEXFQ as "Not physically forced sexually" (code 0) rather than "Not in universe" (code 99).
Comparability — Liberia [top]
The 2007 and 2019 Liberia surveys use a country-specific euphemism, men business, to politely refer to sexual intercourse.
Comparability — South Africa [top]
The 2016 South Africa survey asks about the respondent's current or most recent spouse, live-in partner, or boyfriend.
