Description

TVWK (V110) indicates whether the woman usually watches television at least once a week.

For a comparable variable reporting the frequency of watching television, see TVFQ (V159). For a variable bridging TVWK and TVFQ, see TVBRIG.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, TVWK (V110) is largely comparable across samples. While most surveys ask the woman, "Do you watch television at least once a week?" some surveys depart from this question format by asking for more detail or providing a range of possible responses other than "Yes/No." These surveys are noted below.

Comparability - Standard DHS

TVWK (V110) is included and consistent in the standard DHS questionnaire from Phase I through III. A similar question appears in Phase IV forward, where respondents were asked how often they watch television. The latter question is the basis for the variable TVFQ (V159).
