Comparability
There are significant differences in question wording for some samples that may limit the comparability of DVHANY (D119Y). While most samples ask if the respondent has "ever" sought help from anyone to stop such abuse, some samples ask if the respondent has sought help from anyone to stop such abuse within the past year.
Only those countries with comparability issues for this variable are discussed below.
