Description
For women who believe they are at moderate or great risk of getting HIV/AIDS, AIDHRISKOTH (V869X) indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported believing this because of some "other" reason. The meaning of "other" varies depending on the responses included in a given survey.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and the contextual meaning of "other," AIDHRISKOTH (V869X) is largely comparable across samples. Most commonly, samples first ask a question about the woman's perceived risk of getting HIV/AIDS, followed by the questions "Why do you think that you have a (moderate/great) chance of getting AIDS? Any other reasons?" or some slight variation.
Comparability - Standard DHS
AIDHRISKOTH (V869X) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase III.
