Comparability
DVSEXFWBRO has some differences between samples that may affect comparability. See country-specific comparability section for more information.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DVSEXFWBRO is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire for any phase, but it is related to a series of questions about who forced the woman to have sexual intercourse or perform other sexual acts in phase VIII of the standard domestic violence module.
Comparability — Zambia [top]
The 2001 Zambia survey asks only about being forced to have sexual intercourse, and does not ask about other sexual acts. Further, the Zambia 2001 survey asks specifically about the man who forced the woman to have sexual intercourse with him, whereas other surveys do not specify perpetrator gender.
