Dear DHS experts,

I am trying to calculate comparative wealth index for Bangladesh. I have some question regarding categorizing Toilet Facilities:

1. How to recode type of toilet facilities (HV205) as "improved unshared" and "improved shared" when shared toilet (HV225) information is not available (In case of BDHS 1993/94, 1996/97, 1999/2000, 2004)?

2. In BDHS 1993/94, 96/97, 99/2000, and 2004 was Septic tank/ modern toilet (11) and Water sealed/ Slab latrine (21) counted as "improved unshared" or "improved shared"?

Thank you in advance.
