Description

Definition
TOILETSHAREPRIV indicates whether the household's shared toilet belongs exclusively to the households that use it or is a public/communal toilet.

The information in TOILETSHAREPRIV is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
