Comparability — Congo (Democratic Republic) [top]
The 2007 Democratic Republic of the Congo survey does not explicitly exclude the respondent's husband/partner, which may limit this sample's comparability.
Comparability — Congo Brazzaville [top]
The 2005 Republic of the Congo - Brazzaville survey does not explicitly exclude the respondent's husband/partner, which may limit this sample's comparability.
Comparability — Liberia [top]
The 2007 Liberia survey uses a country-specific euphemism, men business, to politely refer to sexual intercourse.
