Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, DECFAMVISIT (V743D) is comparable across most samples. Only surveys with potential comparability issues are noted below.

See the Survey Text tab for exact question wording for each sample.

Users should be attentive to universe shifts across phases. See "Comparability - Standard DHS," below, for more details.

Comparability -- Standard DHS

DECFAMVISIT (V743D) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire from Phase IV forward. In Phase IV, all women in the sample are asked this question. Beginning in Phase V, only women who are currently married or living with a partner are asked the question.

Comparability — India [top]

The India 1998 survey words this question as, "Your going and staying with parents or siblings?" Users should note the specificity of the family members noted and the use of "staying" rather than "visiting" terminology.
