Description

Definition
HWSOAP (HV232) indicates whether the household has soap or some other cleansing agent for handwashing.

The information in HWSOAP 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.
