Description
Definition
MAFEDOTHLIQWKD (V470L) reports how many days, out of the past seven days, the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child other liquids. This variable describes a characteristic of the mother rather than the child. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a given survey.
Although the question wording asks about foods given to a specific child during the previous week, responses relate to the mother, so all young children of the mother are coded the same way. If the mother reported she gave her youngest surviving child other liquids in the previous week, all of her children in the data are coded as "yes" (codes "1" through "7"), including any children who have died or who live elsewhere.
A positive response in MAFEDOTHLIQWKD thus does not necessarily indicate whether a particular child of the mother drank other liquids during the previous week. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ the variable FEDOTHLIQWKD (M37L) to determine how many days the child drank other liquids during the previous week. See Comparability.
The related variable MAFEDOTHLIQ24H (V413) indicates whether the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child other liquids during the previous 24 hours. MAFEDOTHLIQ24HX (V469L) reports the number of times the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child other liquids during the previous 24 hours.
