Fields edited for the World Bank are: DDI ID and study ID to match World Bank
study naming convention, as well as DDI Document Version and Version Description to reflect
changed included in version 7. Variable ID's and names were changed to add the
prefix W, C, B, M, or H_ to indicate file source as Woman, Child, Birth, Man, or

the file. These prefixes are not found in the IPUMS-DHS system.
