Description

TRBOIL(HV237A) indicates whether the household boiled water to make it safer to drink.

The information in TRBOIL 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.

Comparability — Zambia [top]

While most surveys ask an open-ended question about what the household does to make the water safer to drink, the 2001 Zambia survey asks, "Do you usually boil your drinking water?" The 2007 and 2013 Zambian surveys ask the more standard, "What do you usually do to make the water safer to drink? Anything else?"
