Description

Definition
MAFEDCHEESEWKD (V470X) reports how many days, out of the past seven days, the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child cheese (or yogurt). 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 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 cheese in the previous week, 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 MAFEDCHEESEWKD thus does not necessarily indicate whether a particular child of the mother ate cheese during the previous week. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ the variable FEDCHEESEWKD (M37X) to determine how many days the child ate cheese during the previous week. See Comparability.

The related variable MAFEDCHEESE24H (V414P) indicates whether the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child cheese during the previous 24 hours. MAFEDCHEESE24HX reports the number of times the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child cheese during the previous 24 hours.
