Description
SAFESEXDK (V755Z) indicates whether the woman stated, in response to an open-ended question, that she did not know what "safe sex" meant.
Comparability
Apart from slight variation in question wording, SAFESEXDK (V755Z) is largely comparable across samples. Most commonly, the woman was first asked about things that can be done to avoid contracting AIDS. If she stated "safe sex" in response to this open-ended question, she was then asked what "safe sex" meant to her.
Comparability - Standard DHS
SAFESEXDK (V755Z) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase III only.
