Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, TOCHEW (V463C) is comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
Questions involving tobacco use are included in the standard DHS questionnaire beginning in Phase IV. TOCHEW (V463C) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire in Phase V forward.
Phases V and VI asked, "Do you currently smoke cigarettes?" with the follow-up questions, "Do you currently smoke or use any other type of tobacco? What other type of tobacco do you currently smoke or use?" In Phase VII, the question wording changed to "Do you currently smoke cigarettes every day, some days, or not at all?" with the follow-up question, "Do you currently smoke or use any other type of tobacco every day, some days, or not at all? What other type of tobacco do you currently smoke or use?"
In Phases V through VII, a follow-up question asking about what type of tobacco the respondent uses includes "Chewing tobacco" as a standard response category.
Comparability — Burundi [top]
The 2010 Burundi survey includes separate response categories for "Chewing tobacco" and "Ubugoro [chewing tobacco]." These two response categories are consolidated in TOCHEW for the 2010 Burundi sample to create a more comprehensive response category.
Comparability — Guinea [top]
The 2018 Guinea survey asks whether the individual uses "chewing tobacco" or "snuff by mouth." To maximize comparability, users may wish to combine responses to TOCHEW and TOSNUFFM (V463H) when using the 2018 Guinea sample.
Comparability — India [top]
The 1998 India survey asks whether the individual "chew[s] paan masala or tobacco."
The 2005 India survey includes separate response categories for "Paan masala" (TOPAAN), "Ghutka" (TOGHUTKA), and "Other chewing tobacco." The responses for "Other chewing tobacco" are contained in the TOCHEW variable.
The 2015 India survey includes separate response categories for "Ghutka/paan masala with tobacco" (TOGHUTKA), "Khaini" (TOKHAINI), "Paan with tobacco" (TOPAAN), "and "Other chewing tobacco." The responses for "Other chewing tobacco" are contained in the TOCHEW variable.
