Description
DVAUSEFP indicates whether the woman believes a husband is justified in hitting or beating his wife if she uses contraception without her husband's consent.
Comparability
DVAUSEFP has no comparability issues.
Comparability â Standard DHS
DVAUSEFP is a country-specific variable that is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire, but it is part of a series of questions, included in Phase IV forward of the standard DHS questionnaire, about when the woman believes a husband is justified in hitting or beating his wife.
The Phase IV and V questionnaires word the introductory question as follows: "Sometimes a husband is annoyed or angered by things that his wife does. In your opinion, is a husband justified in hitting or beating his wife in the following situations?"
The Phase VI and VII questionnaires remove the prefacing sentence, and simply ask, "In your opinion, is a husband justified in hitting or beating his wife in the following situations?"
