Comparability
In most samples after 2014, the household questionnaire asks whether the respondent's household has a place to wash hands or a movable container that is not kept in a fixed location (e.g., a bowl or kettle) that is commonly used for hand washing.
However, in other samples, the household questionnaire only asks about whether the respondent's household has a place to wash hands, not distinguishing between fixed places and movable containers.
In the 2020 female COVID-19 phone survey samples, due to the remote nature of the survey, interviewers were not able to observe the handwashing place.
Starting with the 2020 family planning surveys, this variable differentiates between fixed place inside and outside the dwelling, and the reason why the handwashing place was not observed.
See questionnaire text for more details.
