Literal question
Do you share this facility with other households?
Interviewer instructions
Questions WS7, WS8 and WS9 are about the toilet facility household members use.

---

The purpose of the following two questions is to determine whether the household shares their sanitation facility with other households. The shared status of a sanitation facility is important because shared facilities can be less hygienic than facilities used by only a single household. Unhygienic conditions (faeces on the floor, seat or wall and flies) may discourage use of the facility.
