aData in this table exclude the following: (i) Households that owned ecosan (32) because ecosan facilities are designed to be emptied and all households with ecosan preferred to empty their sanitation facility, (ii) households without a sanitation facility (19) because we were interested in understanding the relationship between a household's current sanitation facility and their sanitation technology preference, (iii) households whose choices were rejected because of inconsistency of their data (51) and (iv) households with pour flush toilet (1).
