Interviewer instructions
The purpose of this question is to obtain a measure of how well a household toilet or latrine (sanitation facility) prevents the users from coming into contact with human waste. It may be necessary to observe the facility. If so, ask permission to do so.
• If the respondent answers or it is observed that the household members have no facilities or use the bush or field, enter '95' for 'No facilities or bush or field' and skip to the next module.
• If any of the flush or pour flush responses ('11' to '14') are given, probe: "Where does it flush to?" Record the code corresponding to the response given.
• If any of the pit responses ('21' to '23') are given, probe to find out what type of pit latrine, or ask permission to observe the facility. Record the corresponding code.

Definitions of various types of toilet facilities are as follows (See also the pictorials at http://mics.unicef.org/tools#data-collection):
A flush toilet uses a cistern or holding tank for flushing water and has a water seal, which is a U-shaped pipe, below the seat or squatting pan that prevents the passage of flies and odours. A pour flush toilet uses a water seal, but unlike a flush toilet, a pour flush toilet uses water poured by hand for flushing (no cistern is used).
