Description

Definition

TOILETDEFKID reports "where children in your household usually defecate." This question wording is an alternative to the more common question about the household's type of toilet facility, in TOILETTYPE.

The related variable TOILETDEFEM reports the type of toilet facility used for defecation by the household's adult women.

The information in TOILETDEFKID 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.
