Description

Definition

HWHENWORK indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the household respondent reported that household members usually wash their hands (with soap, in the dwelling or plot) after working.

The information in HWHENWORK 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.
