<p>This Question refers to the type of toilet or latrine available in the dwelling.
<br />Read the Question and each of the alternatives. Wait for the response. Mark an X in the corresponding number. </p>

<p>The following categories have been included:</p>

The cover has a thick layer of concrete that helps control the disease vectors and minimizes the problem of odor. To allow privacy and protection, the latrine is protected by a hut covered by culm. <br /><br />Improved traditional: consists of a cesspit made of wood or mortar slab (round or squared) and an outer protection to allow privacy and the resistance of the cesspit. To support the feet, feet supports are made in the wood or mortar slabs. For privacy and protection, a superstructure of bamboo, culm or other material is built. <br /><br />Non-improved latrine: consists of a cesspit of 60cm in diameter and 1.5 5m in depth. It is covered by bamboos/wood to allow support for the user. The surface is finished using a mixture of animal manure and earth. Hollow or wood blocks are used for feet support. A gasket is built to allow privacy and protection. <br /><br />Does not have flush toilet/latrine: when the occupants use the river, bush, etc. in order to relieve themselves.</div>
