The DHS Program, which manages registration and access for IPUMS DHS, is again reviewing new user applications and requests for expanded access from currently approved users.
Codes and Frequencies
Description
TOILETPLACE (HV238A) reports the location of the toilet used by household members. Response options vary across samples; see Comparability.
The information in TOILETPLACE 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
Along with universe differences, TOILETPLACE (HV238A) varies in response categories across samples.
To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding for TOILETPLACE. The main distinction drawn is between a toilet inside the dwelling unit, outside but in the household's plot/courtyard, or elsewhere. These broad categories are distinguished in the first digit of the coding system. Detail only rarely available, such as whether the toilet outside the dwelling unit was in the same building or in the courtyard, is preserved in the second digit.
Comparability - Standard DHS
TOILETPLACE (HV238A) is included in Phase VII forward of the standard DHS household questionnaire.
