Description

Definition
PLOTCLEANDRY indicates whether the space around the respondent's dwelling was clean and dry at the time of interview, based on the interviewer's observation. If the land was not clean and dry, the specific problem (e.g., trash, sewage, flooded or stagnant water) was recorded.

The information in PLOTCLEANDRY 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.
