Comparability

Apart from universe differences, NEWSWK (V109) is comparable across most samples. Surveys with potentially significant differences in question wording are discussed below.

Comparability - Standard DHS

NEWSWK (V109) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phases I through III. A similar question appears in Phase IV forward, where respondents were asked how often they read a newspaper or magazine. The latter question is the basis for the variable NEWSFQ (V157).

Comparability — Benin [top]

The Benin 1996 survey includes "any type of document" in this question and thus may not indicate news access but frequency of reading.
