Interviewer instructions

The purpose of this question is to obtain a measure of the cleanliness of the sanitary facility used by the household members. If the respondent answers that the household members use the bush or field, circle 6 for "no facilities" and skip to Q. 5, drawing a line through the skipped question.

A flush toilet to sewage is one in which water carries the waste down pipes to a septic tank connected to the local sewers, whether the water is piped into the toilet or poured in by buckets. A pour flush latrine is one with a water seal such as an aqua privy, or any similar device that creates a seal to prevent fumes and bacteria escaping. A Ventilated Improved Pit latrine (VIP) is a pit latrine that has a route for fumes to escape (usually a pipe), other than the hole itself. A traditional pit latrine is not ventilated.
