Interviewer instructions

The purpose of this question is to determine the sanitation condition of the household. Clean and adequate water supply and toilet facilities are important for disease control and health improvement. A FLUSH toilet is one in which water carries the waste down pipes, whether the water is piped into the toilet or poured in by buckets. This is different from toilets (without the flush toilet equipment) whereby users pour water on the ground to wash away the waste. The later toilets, commonly called Flush Trench Toilets, are a separate category (code 31). A VIP Latrine or Blair toilet is a pit latrine improved by being ventilated. This means there has been some kind of construction to provide a route for fumes to escape, other than the hole itself; it's often a pipe. A traditional pit toilet is not ventilated. The code '41' is used if the respondent answers that they use the bush or the fields circle ' 41'. The different types of toilet facilities are:
