Comparability
DVDRUNKFQ has some comparability problems in relation to universes and question parameters. The comparability issues for specific samples are discussed below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DVDRUNKFQ is neither included in the standard DHS questionnaire for any phase nor in any version of the standard domestic violence module.
Comparability — Mozambique [top]
Departing from other surveys, Mozambique 2011 asks whether the woman experienced violence while her partner was drunk only in the last 12 months.
Comparability — Zimbabwe [top]
Zimbabwe 2004 has a universe discrepancy that may affect the comparability of this variable. The universe includes husbands/partners who may not drink but do use intoxicating substances. Some women report that their partner never gets drunk, but do report abuse when their partner is drunk. This may mean that the partner is intoxicated in some other manner, but is not necessarily intoxicated from alcohol use.
Universe
- Mozambique 2011: Women age 15-49 who were selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module, who have ever been married or lived with a man, who have ever experienced physical or sexual violence from their husband/partner, whose husband/partner drinks alcohol and who have reported experiencing violence when their husband/partner was drunk.
- Zimbabwe 2005: Women age 15-49 who were selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module, who have ever been married or lived with a man, who have ever experienced physical or sexual violence from their husband/partner, and whose husband/partner drinks alcohol or uses other intoxicating substances.
