(V767C)
Relationship with 3rd most recent sexual partner
Codes and Frequencies
Description
SXPAR3REL (V767C) reports the woman's relationship to her third most recent male sex partner.
Comparability
Along with slight differences in question wording, there are significant response category differences in SXPAR3REL (V767C), which may impact its comparability.
Most of the differences across samples are in accordance with changes in the standard DHS questionnaire, which are addressed below. Countries with additional comparability issues for this variable are discussed below. Researchers are advised to consult the codes page to see the response categories used in a particular sample.
To maximize comparability across samples, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding for SXPAR3REL. For example, the categories "spouse" and "cohabiting partner" are sometimes reported separately and sometimes combined, but all these responses share a common first digit of 1.
Comparability - Standard DHS
SXPAR3REL (V767C) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase IV forward. Question wording and response categories change across phases.
In Phases V and VI, the question wording changes to include any sex partner, eliminating the specificity of male sex partners.
In addition to wording differences, the response categories are modified significantly in Phase V forward. The response category "spouse/cohabiting partner" from Phase IV is separated into two separate responses ("husband" and "live-in partner") in the later phases. Some responses from Phase IV, including "man is boyfriend/fiancé," "other friend," and "relative," are excluded from later phases; the response "boyfriend not living with respondent" is added to Phases V forward. The "commercial sex worker" category from Phase IV changes to "prostitute" in Phase V and to "client/prostitute" in Phase VI.
