Description

TRCOVER indicates whether the respondent said, in response to an open-ended question, that the household covers the water container to make water safer to drink.

The information in TRCOVER 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").
