Comparability
The comparability of DV1SEXACTWHO (D127) across samples may be limited by differences in the response categories of the associated survey question.
Only those countries with comparability issues for this variable are discussed below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DV1SEXACTWHO (D127) is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire for any phase, but it is based on a question included in phases V, VI, and VII of the standard domestic violence module.
Comparability — Gambia [top]
The 2019 Gambia survey words the police/soldier category as "security personnel, police, or soldier."
The 2013 Gambia survey uses the typical wording of "police or soldier."
Comparability — Liberia [top]
The 2007 Liberia survey uses a country-specific euphemism, men business, to politely refer to sexual intercourse.
Comparability — Malawi [top]
For most samples, DV1SEXACTWHO does not include a separate response category for the woman's grandfather forcing her to have sexual intercourse or perform other sexual acts the first time. Instead, any "grandfather" responses are normally incorporated into the "other relative, unspecified" category. Malawi 2010, however, mentions "grandfather" separately from "other relative, unspecified" on the survey form.
Comparability — South Africa [top]
The 2016 South Africa sample asks only about sexual intercourse.
