Description

Definition
WSTORCLOSECON indicates whether the household stores drinking water in a closed container, according to the woman respondent's response to an open-ended question.

The information in WSTORCLOSECON 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").
