Description

Definition

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").
