Description
For women who were randomly selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module, DVOSIS indicates whether they had been physically hurt by their sister since age 15.
For a variable that combines "sister" and "brother" responses for this series for some samples, see DVOSIBL (D115F).
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, DVOSIS has no comparability problems.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DVOSIS is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire for any phase, but it is based on a question included in phase IV of the standard domestic violence module.
