Description

Definition
TRBOIL(HV237A) indicates whether the household boiled water to make it safer to drink.

The information in TRBOIL 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 when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
