Description

Definition

WTRAVAILFRQ reports how often water is available from the main source of drinking water for the household. Responses range from "all the time" to "not at all."

The information in WTRAVAILFRQ 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.
