Description

SWSHR indicates whether the respondent for the household survey had heard of a country-specific branded chemical water treatment product, which was publicized and distributed as part of a Safe Water Systems public health campaign. The product varied across countries; see Comparability.

The information in SWSHR 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.

Comparability

The particular brand of chemical water treatment varied across countries, but in all cases, the surveys inquired into awareness and use of a product publicized in a social marketing campaign.

Comparability - Standard DHS

SWSHR is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS household questionnaire.
