Comparability
There are universe differences that limit the comparability of DVPSEXFQ across samples.
Only those countries with comparability issues for this variable are discussed below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DVPSEXFQ is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire for any phase, but it is included in phases V, VI, VII, and VIII of the standard domestic violence module.
Comparability — Egypt [top]
The universe for the Egypt 2005 sample includes only those women who have ever been sexually forced by their husband. As a consequence, the category "Not physically forced sexually" is not available for that sample. For all other samples, "Not physically forced sexually" indicates that the woman had never been sexually forced by her husband/partner.
To achieve comparability across all samples, analysts may wish to recode DVPSEXFQ for Egypt 2005 so that persons who have a "No" response in DVPSEX (D105H) are coded in DVPSEXFQ as "Not physically forced sexually" (code 0) rather than "Not in universe" (code 99).
Comparability — Liberia [top]
The 2007 and 2019 Liberia surveys use a country-specific euphemism, men business, to politely refer to sexual intercourse.
Comparability — South Africa [top]
The 2016 South Africa survey asks about the respondent's current or most recent spouse, live-in partner, or boyfriend.
