Description

VIDEO indicates whether the household had video equipment, variously described as "a video," "a video player," "a video recorder," or "a video deck."

The related variable DVDVCD includes equipment for playing videos as well as DVD and CD players for some samples.

Comparability

Along with universe differences, VIDEO differs across samples in question wording. Several surveys asked, "Does your household have a video?," which presumably refers to equipment for playing or recording videos. Other samples with different question wording are discussed below.

The information in VIDEO 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 - Standard DHS

VIDEO is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
