Description

HWBYTOILET indicates whether the household's place for handwashing is in the same place or adjacent to the toilet facility versus not near the toilet facility. This information is based on observation of the handwashing facility by the interviewer.

The information in HWBYTOILET is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
