Description
Definition
MAFEDGRAIN24HX (V469Q) reports how many times the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child any foods made from grain, such as millet, sorghum, maize, rice, wheat, or other local grains, during the previous day, either at night or during the daytime. This variable describes a characteristic of the mother rather than the child.
Although the question wording asks about foods given to a specific child during the previous day, 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 any foods made from grains in the previous day, all of her young 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 MAFEDGRAIN24HX thus does not necessarily indicate whether a particular child of the mother ate any foods made from grain during the previous day. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ the variable FEDGRAIN24HX to determine how many times the child ate any foods made from grain during the previous day. See Comparability.
The related variable MAFEDGRAIN24H (V414E) indicates whether the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child any foods made from grain during the previous 24 hours. MAFEDGRAINWKD (V470Q) reports the number of days the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child any foods made from grain during the past week.
