Definition
With information taken from the household record, SAMEH2OSRCHH (HV203) indicates whether the household used the same source of water for drinking and for other uses (such as laundry and dishwashing). For samples without this variable, the information could be calculated by comparing the household's reported sources of drinking water and water for other uses.
The information in SAMEH2OSRCHH 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.
