Description
PTRSTAND indicates whether the respondent said, in response to an open-ended question, that letting water stand and settle is something that can be done to make the water safe to drink.
The information in PTRSTAND is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
Comparability
PTRSTAND has no comparability problems.
Comparability - Standard DHS
