Description

Definition

For surviving children born in the three to five years before the survey, HWYEARMEAS (HW19) reports the year during which the child's height and weight were measured by DHS personnel.

The complementary variables HWDAYMEAS and HWMONTHMEAS report the day and the month, respectively, of the child's height and weight measurement.
