Definition
For residents of households with shared toilet facilities, TOILSHARNUMG reports the number of other households sharing their toilet, with grouped input values. IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding to accommodate the (differing) grouped values; see Comparability.
The information in TOILSHARNUMG 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").
