Description

Definition
WSTORTAKEOUT reports how the household takes drinking water from storage containers to be used.

The information in WSTORTAKEOUT 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").
