Description

Definition

TROTHER (HV237X) indicates whether the household used some "other" treatment to make water safer to drink. The meaning of other depends on the specific water treatment methods enumerated in a given survey.

The information in TROTHER 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 when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
