Description

Definition
HWHENPREKIDS indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the household respondent reported that household members usually wash their hands (in the dwelling or plot) before taking care of children.

The information in HWHENPREKIDS 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.
