7.3.3 Sanitary Service
Does this household have a bathroom in the dwelling?
A dwelling has a bathroom when it has a space that contains at least a toilet, latrine, or squat toilet, with or without a water tank.
The toilet is a sanitary element (bowl) used to collect and eliminate human excrement and that (through a siphon seal of clean water) impedes the escape of smells toward the inhabited spaces.
The squat toilet is a toilet without a bowl, such that it is a hole in the ground with two adjacent places to support the feet. Sometimes they call it a latrine since it lacks a seat but, as opposed to this, it possesses a hydraulic seal that impedes the escape of smells.
The latrine is the hole in the ground covered with a sheet of wood or concrete in which a hole is placed that could eventually hold a bowl. Select the option according to the informant's response.

Of exclusive use of the household: when the bathroom is used only for the members of the private household.

Even if it is usual that the dwellings inhabited by more than one household share a bathroom, it can also occur that the dwelling has more than one bathroom and each household utilizes one in an exclusive way.
