Description

BWTV indicates whether the household had a black and white television.

The complementary variable COLORTV indicates whether the household had a color television. TELEVISION indicates whether the household had a television, regardless of type.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences, BWTV is comparable across most samples. The question was usually phrased as "Does your household have a black and white television?" Surveys with substantially different question wording are noted below.

The information in BWTV is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").

Comparability - Standard DHS

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