Description
TRPUR indicates whether the household uses "PUR," a brand-name water filter, to treat drinking water. Researchers may wish to combine responses to this variable with responses to the related variable TRFILTER, on whether the household uses a filter (no brand name specified) to treat drinking water.
The information in TRPUR 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 (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
