Description

Definition
DRAINPROBOTHER indicates whether the household's dwelling has some other problem with toilet drainage. The meaning of "other" depends on the drainage problems specified in a particular survey.

The information in DRAINPROBOTHER 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.
