Questions and instructions
Literal question
The last time (name) passed stools, what was done to dispose of the stools?
Interviewer instructions
The purpose of this question is to know what was done with the stools of the child in the household when they most recently passed stool. The safe disposal of children's stools is of particular importance because children's stools are more likely to be the cause of faecal contamination to the immediate household environment than other causes. Correct disposal of stools is linked with lower risks of getting diarrhoea.
Respondents are asked where they usually dispose of their children's stools if the child did not use the toilet facility. Circle the most appropriate code.
