Comparability
There are differences in question wording that may limit the comparability of DVPREGBOSS (D118W) across samples.
The majority of samples that include DVPREGBOSS code whether the woman has been hurt by her "employer" and/or "someone at work". Some samples, especially those using the first version of the domestic violence module, depart from this norm and only code for "employer."
Only those countries with comparability issues for this variable are discussed below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DVPREGBOSS (D118W) is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire for any phase, but it is included in phases IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII of the standard domestic violence module. The question wording for this variable changes across versions of the module, however. The first version asks whether the woman's employer has hurt her in a physical way during pregnancy. The second, third, and fourth versions ask whether the woman's employer or someone else at work has hurt her in a physical way during pregnancy.
