Comparability
There are differences in both question wording and universe that limit the comparability of DVRBRUISE across samples.
All samples that include DVRBRUISE ask, at a minimum, whether the woman had ever had bruises as a result of violence from her husband/partner. In addition, some samples ask whether the woman had aches, cuts and aches, or lumps, as a result of her husband's or partner's actions.
The majority of samples ask whether the woman experienced cuts, bruises or aches. Samples that deviate from this norm or may be affected by universe variations are discussed below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DVRBRUISE (D110A) is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire for any phase, but it is included in phases IV, V, VI, and VII of the standard domestic violence module.
In the first version of the standard domestic violence module, which was used alongside the standard DHS questionnaire through Phase IV, the respondent was asked whether she experienced "bruises and aches."
From the second version forward of the standard domestic violence module, which was used alongside the standard DHS questionnaire beginning in Phase V, the respondent was asked whether she experienced, "cuts, bruises, or aches."
