metadata and data. The XML documents generated by this process are viewed as a distribution
of the metadata.
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
Household Member respectively. This was done to create unique variable IDs and names within
the file. These prefixes are not found in the IPUMS-DHS system.

DHSID is available for every IPUMS-DHS sample and uniquely identifies clusters across samples. It serves as the unique linking key between IPUMS-DHS microdata and DHS cluster shapefiles.This is a 14-digit numeric variable with 0 implied decimal placesIdentifiers Variables -- TOPICSSample-specific respondent identifierCASEID is the unique identifier for each woman in a given sample year. Using CASEID and CLUSTERNO, analysts can link IPUMS-DHS data to the original DHS datasets to attach variables that are not currently available in IPUMS-DHS. For example, researchers can use CASEID and CLUSTERNO to link variables from the IPUMS-DHS with other variables from the Woman's Recode file to merge country-specific variables, or to the Household or Couples Recode file to attach variables that are not yet part of IPUMS-DHS.
In most samples, users can identify women who are in the same household by using the first 12 characters of CASEID (and CLUSTERNO (V001)), as this indicates a unique household identifier.
CASEID is generally created by The DHS Program using the variables CLUSTERNO (V001), HHNUM (V002), and LINENO (V003), with the last three characters indicating the respondent's line number in the household file.
For instructions on how to create links between IPUMS-DHS data and DHS source data, see the User Note on "Merging IDHS and DHS Data." [URL omitted from DDI.]CASEID is a 18-character string variable.Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSSample-specific household identifierHHID is an identifying number unique to each household in a given sample.HHID is a 15-character string variable.Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSHousehold number in clusterHHNUM (V002) is the number identifying the household in which the respondent was
interviewed, within each sample.
To identify unique households in most samples, researchers must use HHNUM with CLUSTERNO (V001).
For most samples, HHNUM and CLUSTERNO can be used to merge IPUMS-DHS data from the women's file to DHS Household Recode files, to incorporate household variables not yet available in the IPUMS-DHS. However, in some household files, HHNUM and CLUSTERNO do not uniquely identify households in the DHS Household Recode file.
For information about the IPUMS-DHS samples where HHNUM and CLUSTERNO are not sufficient to uniquely identify households, and for guidance on what further steps to take for linking files in such cases, please consult the User Note on Linking. [URL omitted from DDI.]HHNUM is a 4-digit variable.Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSSample-specific cluster numberCLUSTERNO (V001) reports the cluster number for the person's de facto residence.
According to the DHS Sampling Manual, "A cluster is the smallest geographical survey statistical unit for DHS surveys. It consists of a number of adjacent households in a geographical area. For DHS surveys, a cluster corresponds either to an [enumeration area], or a segment of a large [enumeration area]." The most recent census for a country, which divided all territory into enumeration areas to ensure full coverage of the population, often provides the sampling frame for a DHS survey.
CLUSTERNO is the variable indicating the primary sampling unit or PSU. It should be used along with the variable STRATA to account for the impact of the sample design clustering on the estimates of variance and standard errors.
See the notes on DHS webpage "Use sample weights" [URL omitted from DDI.] on variance estimation for additional information.
CLUSTERNO (V001) and HHNUM (V002) can be used to merge the women's individual recode file to the household recode file. See the DHS webpage Merging Datasets [URL omitted from DDI.] on variables to be used for linking data sets.CLUSTERNO is an 8 digit variable.Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSSample-specific ultimate area unitULTAREAUNIT (V004) reports the ultimate area unit for the person's de facto residence.
According to the DHS recode manuals, ULTAREAUNIT
is a number assigned to each sample point to identify the ultimate area units in the collection of data. It is usually the same as the cluster number [CLUSTERNO (V001)], but may be a sequentially numbered variable for samples with a more complicated structure.
ULTAREAUNIT can be used to account for the impact of the sampling design clustering on the variance estimates and standard errors.ULTAREAUNIT (V004) is a 4-digit variable.Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSHousehold line number of woman respondentHOUSEHOLD SCHEDULE

_______________LINENO (V003) reports the number of the line on which the DHS interviewer recorded the woman's name, when filling out the household schedule. After asking "Please give me the names of the persons who usually live in your household or are staying with you now, starting with the head of the household," the interviewer recorded each name in turn on successively numbered lines printed on the household survey form.001100220033004400550066007700880099010100111101212013130141401515016160171701818019190202002121022220232302424025250262602727028280292903030031310323203333034340353503636037370383803939040400414104242043430444404545046460474704848049490505005151052520535305454055550565605757058580595906060061610626206363064640656506666067670686806969070700717107272073730747407575076760777707878079790808008181082820838308484085850868608787088880898909090091910929209393094940959509696097970989809999100100101101102102103103104104105105106106Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSSample weight for personsPERWEIGHT (V005) is an 8-digit variable with 6 implied decimal places, which should be used as a weighting factor to produce representative numbers accurately describing the surveyed population.
While the DHS Recode Manuals direct the researcher to divide the original weight variable by 1,000,000 before applying the weighting factor to the original DHS data files, it is not necessary to modify the value of PERWEIGHT before applying this weight to cases in IPUMS-DHS.
PERWEIGHT should be used to weight nearly all tabulations made using IPUMS-DHS data. Occasionally, as with the domestic violence variables, a subset of respondents are randomly selected to answer questions from a survey module, and a specialized weight such as DVWEIGHT should be used instead.
Note: The 6 implied decimal places in PERWEIGHT mean that the last six digits of the eight-digit variable are decimal digits, but there is no actual decimal in the data.PERWEIGHT is an 8-digit numeric variable with 6 implied decimal places. See the variable description for directions on the use of PERWEIGHT.Weights and subsample selection Variables -- TOPICSAll woman factor for total populationAWFACTT is a 5-digit variable (in IPUMS-DHS) with 2 implied decimal places that is used to create total population estimates for all women of childbearing age, for those samples interviewing only ever-married women. A post from DHS senior staff member Tom Pullum on the DHS Users Forum explains,
The all-woman factors are needed when you are trying to estimate something for all women, but you have to work with ever-married women because that's all you have in the sample. An example is when you want to estimate a fertility rate for all women but you only have the births and exposure for ever-married women. You have to assume that (a) never-married women have no births and (b) awfact/100 is a multiplier to inflate exposure for ever-married women to exposure for all women.
For surveys that used a sampling frame of all women of childbearing age, AWFACTT has a value of 100 (or 1.00, with two decimal places), and thus has no effect on the survey statistics when used as a multiplier. For samples that included only ever-married women, AWFACTT serves as a multiplier to create total population figures for all women of childbearing age, following the assumptions noted above.
The width of AWFACTT ranges from a low of 3 to a high of 5 in the original DHS files; see Comparability for further discussion.AWFACTT is a 5-digit numeric variable with 2 implied decimal places. See the variable description for directions on the use of AWFACTT.Weights and subsample selection Variables -- TOPICSYear of interviewINTYEAR (V007) reports the year the interview took place.

Century month codes (CMC) are particularly useful for checking the consistency of dates, calculating intervals between events, and imputing dates when the information for an event is missing or partially complete.
Century month codes (CMC) are calculated by multiplying by 12 the difference between the year of an event and 1900. The year 1900 was chosen as the reference period because all of the DHS-relevant events occurred during the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. The month of the event is added to the previous result.
CMC = (Year - 1900) * 12 + Month
For example, the CMC for June 2002 is:
CMC = (2002 - 1900) * 12 + 6 = 1230
In other words, 1,230 months have elapsed between January 1900 and June 2002. Starting with CMC figures, one can calculate the month and year using the following formulas:
Year = int( ( CMC - 1 )/12 ) + 1900
[int(x) is the integer part of x]
Month = CMC minus ( ( Year - 1900 ) * 12 )

AGE IN COMPLETED YEARS ________AGE (V012) reports the woman's age. DHS surveys collect information about the woman's age through questions about age at last birthday and date of birth. DHS Recode Manuals provide the following information about how the AGE variable is calculated:
Current age in completed years is calculated from the century month code of the date of birth of the respondent (V011) and the century month code of the date of interview (V008). In a few cases the age in the data file will be different from that reported by the respondent when the respondent's birthday was in the month of interview, but she had not yet had her birthday. If the respondent correctly reported her age at her last birthday (and not her age at her next birthday) then the calculated age was rounded up from the reported age, to avoid inconsistencies between the age and the century month code for the birth.1010111112121313141415151616171718181919202021212222232324242525262627272828292930303131323233333434353536363737383839394040414142424343444445454646474748484949505051515252535354545555565657575858595960606161626263636464Core demographic Variables -- TOPICSAge in 5 year groups108 How old are you now in completed years?

*FALL=21, WINTER=22, SUMMER=23DOBCMC (V011) reports the century month code (CMC) for the woman's date of birth.
Century month codes (CMC) are particularly useful for checking the consistency of dates, calculating intervals between events, and imputing dates when the information for an event is missing or partially complete.
Century month codes (CMC) are calculated by multiplying by 12 the difference between the year of an event and 1900. The year 1900 was chosen as the reference period because all of the DHS-relevant events occurred during the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. The month of the event is added to the previous result.
CMC = (Year - 1900) * 12 + Month
For example, the CMC for June 2002 is:
CMC = (2002 - 1900) * 12 + 6 = 1230
In other words, 1,230 months have elapsed between January 1900 and June 2002. Starting with CMC figures, one can calculate the month and year using the following formulas:
Year = int( ( CMC - 1 )/12 ) + 1900
[int(x) is the integer part of x]
Month = CMC - ( ( Year - 1900 ) * 12 )

SEASON CODES: FALL=21, WINTER=22, SUMMER=23DOB1STKIDCMC (V211) reports the century month code (CMC) for the date of the woman's first birth.
The Guide to DHS Statistics (2003) explains the use and calculation of CMC values as follows:
Century month codes (CMC) are particularly important to check consistency of dates, to calculate intervals between events, and to impute dates when the information for an event is missing or partially complete.
Century month codes (CMC) are calculated by multiplying by 12 the difference between the year of an event and 1900. That year was chosen as the reference period because all of the DHS relevant events occurred during the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. The month of the event is added to the previous result.
CMC = (Year - 1900) * 12 + Month
For example, the CMC for June 2002 will be:
CMC = (2002 - 1900) * 12 + 6 = 1230
In other words, 1,230 months have elapsed since January 1900 to June 2002. Based on CMC it is possible to calculate the month and year using the following formulas:
Year = int( ( CMC - 1 )/12 ) + 1900
[int(x) is the integer part of x]
Month = CMC - ( ( Year - 1900 ) * 12 )9998Missing9999NIU (not in universe)Fertility Variables -- TOPICSTime since woman's last menstrual period225 How tong ago did your last menstrual period start?

In many countries, persons with secondary or higher levels of schooling were presumed to "read easily," but coding criteria varied across countries. Simply asking women whether and how easily they could read was the approach used to determine literacy in DHS Phases 1-3.
Beginning in Phase 4, a different approach was employed to determine literacy. See LIT2 (V155) for details about that second approach, which involved having the respondent read a sentence aloud.

Initially, respondents were asked, "Can you read a letter or newspaper easily, with difficulty, or not at all?" In many countries, persons with secondary or higher levels of schooling were presumed to "read easily," but coding criteria varied across countries.
Beginning with Phase 4 of the DHS, persons with less than secondary school education were asked to demonstrate their literacy level by reading aloud a sentence on a card and were classified as "cannot read at all," "able to read only parts of sentence," and "able to read whole sentence." As before, those with secondary or higher schooling were presumed to have attained the highest literacy level.
LITBRIG combines information from the first approach of asking about literacy (in LIT1 [V108]) and the second approach of testing literacy based on reading a sentence aloud (in LIT2 [V155]).

UNDECIDED OR DK 8(GO TO 604A)For countries with low contraceptive prevalence, FERTPREF (V602) reports responses to the question, "Would you like to have a (another) child or would you prefer not to have any (more) children"? The standard response categories are "have another," "no more/none," "says she can't get pregnant," and "undecided or don't know."
In Phase I, FERTPREF (V602), was constructed from two questions in countries with high contraceptive prevalence (Model "A" questionnaires). Women who responded that they want another child, but when asked when they would like the next child, respond that they cannot get pregnant, are classified in the "declared infecund category," and not in the "Wants another" category.
Some samples also include the response "up to God." More detailed responses under the general category "says she can't get pregnant" are sometimes available. In IPUMS-DHS, all responses in the general category of "not at risk of pregnancy" share a common first digit of 5, while the second digit distinguishes between the specific reasons. In some countries, women who never had sexual intercourse (coded as "53" in IPUMS-DHS) were not asked the questions relating to their desire for future children.
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.99NIU (not in universe)98Missing53Never had sex52Declared infecund51Sterilized50Not at risk of pregnancy40Up to God30No more20Undecided10Have anotherGeneral family planning Variables -- TOPICSDesire for more children602 Now 1 have some questions about the future.

UNDECIDED OR DK 8(GO TO 604A)KIDDESIRE (V605) is a constructed variable that distinguishes between women who want another child soon (in less than two years), who want another child later (in 2+ years), who want no more children, and who aren't sure (about timing or about the number of children desired).
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
The construction of this variable has changed across phases of the DHS and varies across countries (only sometimes distinguishing between groups of women not at risk of pregnancy due to sterilization, infecundity, or virginity). To maximize comparability across samples, IPUMS-DHS employs composite coding. Women who want more children share a common first digit of 1, women not at risk of pregnancy share a common first digit of 6, and detail present in only some samples is specified in the code's second digit.99NIU (not in universe)98Unknown63Never had sex62Declared infecund61Sterilized60Not at risk of pregnancy51Up to God50Fatalistic response40Wants no more30Undecided13Wants, unsure timing12Wants after 2+ years11Wants within 2 years10Wants more childrenGeneral family planning Variables -- TOPICSWanted last child418 At the time you became pregnant with (NAME), did you want to become pregnant then, did you want to wait until later, or did you want no (more) children at all?

OTHER ANSWER (SPECIFY) ______IDEALKID (V613) reports the ideal total number of children the woman would have liked to have in her whole life, regardless of her actual childbearing. The information is collected through hypothetical questions such as, "If you could go back to the time you did not have any children and could choose exactly the number of children to have in your whole life, how many would that be?" (for women with living children) or "If you could choose exactly the number of children to have in your whole life, how many would that be?" (for women without living children).
If the woman responded with a range of values, IDEALKID reports the midpoint between those values. According to the DHS Recode Manuals, "If the midpoint is not an exact number then the number is rounded up in half the cases and rounded down for the other half." The questionnaires included space for non-numeric "other" responses, such as "Up to God."
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.98Missing97Don't know66Number she has currently65Depends on husband64As many as possible63Never thought about it62Any number/Fatalistic61Up to God/As Allah wills60Non-numeric response5050494948484747464645454444434342424141404039393838373736363535343423232222212120201919181817171616151514141313121211111010099088077066055044033022011000333332323131303029292828272726262525242467As many as can care for68Doesn't want children99NIU (not in universe)General family planning Variables -- TOPICSIdeal number of children (grouped)610 CHECK 202 AND 204:

When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.

NO 2FPEVUSE (V302) is a constructed variable that reports whether the woman had ever used a family planning method and, if so, whether she had used a modern contraceptive method or only a traditional or folkloric method.
In the DHS, modern methods are pill, IUD, injections, diaphragm, condom, female sterilization, male sterilization, implants, female condom, foam/jelly, lactational amenorrhea, and emergency contraception. Traditional methods are periodic abstinence (rhythm), withdrawal, and abstinence. Folkloric methods are the category "other" and country-specific methods (such as herbs or amulet), which vary across samples.00Never used10Used only traditional or folkloric method11Used only traditional method12Used only folkloric method20Used modern methodEver use of family planning Variables -- TOPICSAcceptability of FP message on radio or TV402 ENTER THE LINE NUMBER, NAME AND SURVIVAL STATUS OF EACH BIRTH SINCE JAN. 1984 IN THE TABLE.

DELPER_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELPER_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELPER_02, DELPER_03, DELPER_04, DELPER_05, and DELPER_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELPER_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
For surveys including this question, information for this variable was collected on all births, up to a maximum of six, in the reference period. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then DELPER_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.1DELPER_ALL availableMaternal delivery care, general Variables -- TOPICSPerson who gave delivery care (last birth)405 Who assisted with the delivery of (NAME)?

Women who are currently pregnant (irrespective of whether the woman's period returned after her last birth) and women who did not have births in the last three to five years are automatically reported as not currently amenorrheic, and coded "No" (code 0).

(NAME) ________BIDX_ALL reports the index number of the child in the mother's birth history, from 1 to n, where the nth birth is the mother's first birth, and 1 is the most recently born child. Up to 20 births could be reported by a woman. After saying "Now I would like to record the names of all your births, whether still alive or not, starting with the first one you had," the interviewer recorded each child's name in turn on successively numbered lines printed in the "Reproduction" section of the individual woman's questionnaire.
When women are the unit of analysis, all of their children's characteristics are reported using the index number of the birth history. For example, variables ending with "_01" always refer to the most recent birth. This means that BIDX_01 will always equal "1," BIDX_02 will always equal "2," and so on.
Combined with CASEID, BIDX_ALL uniquely identifies births within a sample. Combined with IDHSPID, BIDX_ALL uniquely identifies births across samples. Using these variables, data users can link IPUMS-DHS data to original DHS child-level (KR) and birth-level (BR) datasets.
BIDX_ALL consists of a set of twenty separate variables, covering the most recent birth (BIDX_01) up to the twentieth-most-recent birth (BIDX_20) for a female respondent of childbearing age. If BIDX_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
Information for this variable was collected on all births for a woman, up to a maximum of twenty. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to twenty births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 19 or 20 births). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 20 births and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then BIDX_20 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.1BIDX_ALL availableGeneral maternal and infant health Variables -- TOPICSBirth index history number (last-born child)211 Now I would like to talk to you about all of your births, whether still alive or not, starting with the first one you had.

KIDBORD_ALL consists of a set of twenty separate variables, covering the most recent birth (KIDBORD_01) up to the twentieth-most-recent birth (KIDBORD_20) for a female respondent of childbearing age. If KIDBORD_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
Information for this variable was collected on all births for a woman, up to a maximum of twenty births. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to twenty births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 19 or 20 births). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 20 births and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then KIDBORD_20 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.1KIDBORD_ALL availableGeneral maternal and infant health Variables -- TOPICSChild's birth order number (last-born child)214 In what month and year was (NAME) born?

SEASON CODES: FALL=21, WINTER=22, SUMMER=23KIDBIRTHYR_ALL (B2_x) reports the child's year of birth, according to the Gregorian calendar.
KIDBIRTHYR_ALL consists of a set of twenty separate variables, covering the most recent birth (KIDBIRTHYR_01) up to the twentieth-most-recent birth (KIDBIRTHYR_20) for a female respondent of childbearing age. If KIDBIRTHYR_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
Information for this variable was collected on all births for a woman, up to a maximum of twenty births. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to twenty births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 19 or 20 births). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 20 births and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then KIDBIRTHYR_20 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.1KIDBIRTHYR_ALL availableGeneral maternal and infant health Variables -- TOPICSChild's year of birth (last-born child)214 In what month and year was (NAME) born?

(GO TO NEXT BIRTH)KIDAGEDEATH_ALL (B6_x) reports the age of the deceased child at death. The first digit of the codes indicates the time unit:
100: Days
200: Months
300: Years
KIDAGEDEATH_ALL consists of a set of twenty separate variables, covering the most recent birth (KIDAGEDEATH_01) up to the twentieth-most-recent birth (KIDAGEDEATH_20) for a female respondent of childbearing age. If KIDAGEDEATH_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
Information for this variable was collected on all births for a woman, up to a maximum of twenty births. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to twenty births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 19 or 20 births). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 20 births and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then KIDAGEDEATH_20 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.1KIDAGEDEATH_ALL availableGeneral maternal and infant health Variables -- TOPICSChild's age at death (non-imputed) (last-born child)216 220 IF DEAD:

reports the age of the deceased child at death in months (including imputed ages).
KIDAGEDIEDIMP_ALL consists of a set of twenty separate variables, covering the most recent birth (KIDAGEDIEDIMP_01) up to the twentieth-most-recent birth (KIDAGEDIEDIMP_20) for a female respondent of childbearing age. If KIDAGEDIEDIMP_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
Information for this variable was collected on all births for a woman, up to a maximum of twenty. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to twenty births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 19 or 20 births). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 20 births and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then KIDAGEDIEDIMP_20 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.1KIDAGEDIEDIMP_ALL availableGeneral maternal and infant health Variables -- TOPICSChild's age at death in months (including imputed) (last birth)216 220 IF DEAD:

Because BIRTHINTPREMO_ALL relates to the child's older sibling, first-born children and twins of first-born children are not included in this variable set.
BIRTHINTPREMO_ALL consists of a set of twenty separate variables, covering the most recent birth (BIRTHINTPREMO_01) up to the twentieth-most-recent birth (BIRTHINTPREMO_20) for a female respondent of childbearing age. If BIRTHINTPREMO_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
Information for this variable was collected on all births for a woman, up to a maximum of twenty. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to twenty births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 19 or 20 births).

SEASON CODES: FALL=21, WINTER=22, SUMMER=23BIRTHINTPOSTMO_ALL (B12_x) reports the succeeding birth interval, or the length of time in months, after the child was born, until the mother's next birth (i.e., before the child's next youngest sibling).
Because BIRTHINTPOSTMO_ALL relates to the child's younger sibling, last-born children and twins of last-born children are not included in this variable set.
BIRTHINTPOSTMO_ALL consists of a set of nineteen separate variables, covering the second-most-recent birth (BIRTHINTPOSTMO_02) up to the twentieth-most-recent birth (BIRTHINTPOSTMO_20) for a female respondent of childbearing age. If BIRTHINTPOSTMO_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
Information for this variable was collected on all but the most recent birth for a woman, up to a maximum of her twentieth birth. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to the twentieth births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had a 19th or 20th birth). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 20 births and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then BIRTHINTPOSTMO_20 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.1BIRTHINTPOSTMO_ALL availableGeneral maternal and infant health Variables -- TOPICSLength of following birth interval, in months (second-to-last-born child)214 In what month and year was (NAME) born?

Women whose period had not returned at the time of interview were excluded from PPAMHMO_ALL, but women who were still amenorrheic were included in calculations for the similar variable PPAMHMOC_ALL.
The maximum period allowed during the data editing (by the survey administrators) was the interval between the date of birth of the child and the date of conception of the following child (with birth date minus nine months used for the date of conception) or the date of interview if there was no following birth.
PPAMHMO_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PPAMHMO_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PPAMHMO_02, PPAMHMO_03, PPAMHMO_04, PPAMHMO_05, and PPAMHMO_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PPAMHMO_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
For surveys including this question, information for this variable was collected on all births, up to a maximum of six, in the reference period. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years).

For DHS Phase II forward, inconsistent durations based on the original reporting of the duration of amenorrhea were recoded to "Inconsistent" (96 in IPUMS-DHS). In cases where the duration was one month longer than the interval, the duration was shortened by one month, consistent with Phase I.

NO 2 (SKIP TO 406)For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, PPABMO_ALL (M8_x) indicates the duration, in months, of postpartum abstinence. Women who were still abstaining at the time of interview were excluded from PPABMO_ALL, but they are included in the similar variable PPABMOC_ALL.
According to the DHS Recode Manuals, the maximum period allowed during the data editing was the interval between the date of birth of the child and the date of conception of the following child (with date of birth minus nine months used for the date of conception) or until the date of interview if there was no following birth. Cases exceeding this duration were left with the original response, but are coded with one of the flag codes on PPABFLAG_ALL and are coded as "Inconsistent" on PPABMOC_ALL.
PPABMO_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PPABMO_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PPABMO_02, PPABMO_03, PPABMO_04, PPABMO_05, and PPABMO_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PPABMO_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
For surveys including this question, information for this variable was collected on all births, up to a maximum of six, in the reference period. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then PPABMO_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.1PPABMO_ALL availableGeneral maternal and infant health Variables -- TOPICSDuration of postpartum abstinence (in months) (last birth)405B Have you resumed sexual relations since the birth of (NAME)?

NO 2 (SKIP TO 406)For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, PPABMOC_ALL (M9_x) reports their calculated months of postpartum abstinence, including the duration for women who were still abstaining at the time of the interview. The similar variable PPABMO_ALL also reports the calculated months of postpartum abstinence but excludes women who were still abstaining when interviewed.
According to the DHS Recode Manuals, the maximum period allowed during the data editing was the interval between the date of birth of the child and the date of conception of the following child (with date of birth minus nine months used for the date of conception) or until the date of interview if there was no following birth. Cases exceeding this duration are coded with one of the flag codes on PPABFLAG_ALL and are coded as "Inconsistent" in PPABMOC_ALL.
PPABMOC_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (PPABMOC_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., PPABMOC_02, PPABMOC_03, PPABMOC_04, PPABMOC_05, and PPABMOC_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If PPABMOC_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
For surveys including this question, information for this variable was collected on all births, up to a maximum of six, in the reference period. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then PPABMOC_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.1PPABMOC_ALL availableGeneral maternal and infant health Variables -- TOPICSMonths of postpartum abstinence (including women still abstaining) (last birth)405B Have you resumed sexual relations since the birth of (NAME)?

NO 2FEDANY24H (M39A_x) indicates whether the woman gave her child any solid, semi-solid, or soft foods during the previous day, either at night or during the daytime.
The related variable FEDANY24HX_ALL (M39_x) reports the number of times the woman gave her child any solid, semi-solid, or soft foods in the previous 24 hours.
FEDANY24H_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (FEDANY24H_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., FEDANY24H_02, FEDANY24H_03, FEDANY24H_04, FEDANY24H_05, and FEDANY24H_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If FEDANY24H_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
For most surveys including this question, information for this variable was collected on the youngest surviving child under age 2. If the respondent's last-born child had died but the second-to-last child was still alive, FEDANY24H_02 would indicate whether the respondent's second-to-last child was given solid, semi-solid, or soft foods only if the last-born child had died. Data were hypothetically collected on up to the sixth-most-recent birth, but if no women in the survey had 6 births and the 5 most recent had died, FEDANY24H_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.

When women are the unit of analysis, IPUMS-DHS users may also use BRSFEDNITE_01 (M35_01), which reports how many times the woman breastfed her last-born child the previous night.
When children are the unit of analysis, BFEEDNITE describes a characteristic of the mother, which causes all young children of the mother to be coded the same way. Thus, a response of a certain number of times in BFEEDNITE does not necessarily indicate that a particular child whose record is being analyzed was breastfed that many times during the previous night. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ, when available, the variable BRSFEDNITE (M35) to determine how many times the specific child under analysis was breastfed during the previous night.0000110220330440550660770880991010111112121313141415151616171718181919202021212222232324242525262627272828292930303131323233333434353536363737383839394040+96On demand97Don't know98Missing99NIU (not in universe)Breastfeeding and infant feeding Variables -- TOPICSTimes mother breastfed last child during previous dayFor women who gave birth in the last three to five years and whose last-born child is still breastfeeding, BFEEDAY (V408) reports how many times the mother breastfed that child the previous day during daylight hours.
When women are the unit of analysis, IPUMS-DHS users may also use BRSFEDAY_01 (M36_01), which reports how many times the woman breastfed her last-born child the previous day during daylight hours.
When children are the unit of analysis, BFEEDAY describes a characteristic of the mother, which causes all young children of the mother to be coded the same way. Thus, a response of a certain number of times in BFEEDAY does not necessarily indicate that a child whose record is being analyzed was personally breastfed that many times during the previous day.

NO 2For women who gave birth in the last three to five years and whose last-born child is still alive, BOTTLE24H (V415) indicates whether the last-born child drank anything from a bottle with a nipple during the previous day and night.
When women are the unit of analysis, IPUMS-DHS users may also use BRSFEDBOT_01 (M38_01), which also indicates whether the woman gave her last-born child anything from a bottle with a nipple during the previous day and night.
When children are the unit of analysis, BOTTLE24H describes a characteristic of the mother, which causes all young children of the mother to be coded the same way. If the mother reported that she fed her last-born child with a bottle with a nipple during the previous day or night, all of her children in the data are coded as "yes," including any children who have died or who live elsewhere.
When children are the unit of analysis, a positive response in BOTTLE24H thus does not necessarily indicate that a particular child was actually fed with a bottle with a nipple during the previous day or night. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ, when available, the variable BRSFEDBOT (M38) to determine whether the specific child in question actually drank anything from a bottle with a nipple during the previous day and night.0No1Yes7Don't know8Missing9NIU (not in universe)Breastfeeding and infant feeding Variables -- TOPICSWoman currently breastfeeding any child407 Are you still breastfeeding (NAME)?

NO 2For women who gave birth in the last three to five years, BRSFEDMO_ALL (M5_x) reports the calculated months of breastfeeding for a birth, including cases where 1) the woman was still breastfeeding at the time of the interview or 2) the child had been breastfed until its death. Cases in these two categories were excluded from the related variable BRSFEDUR_ALL on the duration of breastfeeding.
For DHS Phase II forward, inconsistent durations based on the original report of the duration of breastfeeding were coded as "Inconsistent." In cases where the reported duration was one month longer than the relevant interval, duration was shortened by one month. If the duration of breastfeeding exceeded the child's age at death, the duration of breastfeeding was changed to the age at death.
BRSFEDMO_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (BRSFEDMO_01) up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., BRSFEDMO_02, BRSFEDMO_03, BRSFEDMO_04, BRSFEDMO_05, and BRSFEDMO_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If BRSFEDMO_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
The information in BRSFEDMO_ALL was collected for all births within the reference period preceding the survey. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then BRSFEDMO_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.1BRSFEDMO_ALL availableBreastfeeding and infant feeding Variables -- TOPICSDuration of breastfeeding in months (including still breastfed) (last birth)406 Did you ever feed (NAME) at the breast?

NO 2BRSFEDUR_ALL (M4_x) reports the calculated months of breastfeeding, for women who gave birth in the last three to five years and were no longer breastfeeding the child.
BRSFEDUR_ALL consists of a set of six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (BRSFEDUR_01) up to the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., BRSFEDUR_02, BRSFEDUR_03, BRSFEDUR_04, BRSFEDUR_05, and BRSFEDUR_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If BRSFEDUR_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
For surveys including this question, information for this variable was collected on all births, up to a maximum of six, in the reference period. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then BRSFEDUR_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.
The related variable BRSFEDMO_ALL differs by including women who were still breastfeeding at the time of the interview. The variable BRSFEDCAT_ALL provides categorical information about breastfeeding, reporting whether the woman ever breastfed, and, if so, whether she is still breastfeeding.
The maximum period allowed for BRSFEDUR_ALL during the data editing (by survey administrators) was the interval between the date of birth of the child and the date of interview. For Phase I, cases that exceeded the allowed maximum period were set to "Inconsistent." For Phase II forward, inconsistent durations were left in place, but such cases were flagged in BRSFDFLAG_ALL and were set to "Inconsistent" in BRSFEDMO_ALL. In Phase II only, for Model "A" countries, the "breastfed until died" category was not used.1BRSFEDUR_ALL availableBreastfeeding and infant feeding Variables -- TOPICSDuration of breastfeeding in months (last birth)406 Did you ever feed (NAME) at the breast?

It is a concatenation of SAMPLE, CLUSTERNO and HHNUM.IDHSHID is a 19-character string variable.Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSKey to link DHS clusters to context data (string)DHSID is the 14-character DHS identification code for DHS clusters constructed from the 2-character country code, the 4-digit survey year, and the 8-digit cluster identification number. DHSID is available for every IPUMS-DHS sample and uniquely identifies clusters across samples. It serves as the unique linking key between IPUMS-DHS microdata and DHS cluster shapefiles.This is a 14-digit numeric variable with 0 implied decimal placesIdentifiers Variables -- TOPICSSample-specific respondent identifierCASEID is the unique identifier for each woman in a given sample year. Using CASEID and CLUSTERNO, analysts can link IPUMS-DHS data to the original DHS datasets to attach variables that are not currently available in IPUMS-DHS. For example, researchers can use CASEID and CLUSTERNO to link variables from the IPUMS-DHS with other variables from the Woman's Recode file to merge country-specific variables, or to the Household or Couples Recode file to attach variables that are not yet part of IPUMS-DHS.
In most samples, users can identify women who are in the same household by using the first 12 characters of CASEID (and CLUSTERNO (V001)), as this indicates a unique household identifier.
CASEID is generally created by The DHS Program using the variables CLUSTERNO (V001), HHNUM (V002), and LINENO (V003), with the last three characters indicating the respondent's line number in the household file.
For instructions on how to create links between IPUMS-DHS data and DHS source data, see the User Note on "Merging IDHS and DHS Data." [URL omitted from DDI.]CASEID is a 18-character string variable.Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSHousehold number in clusterHHNUM (V002) is the number identifying the household in which the respondent was
interviewed, within each sample.
To identify unique households in most samples, researchers must use HHNUM with CLUSTERNO (V001).
For most samples, HHNUM and CLUSTERNO can be used to merge IPUMS-DHS data from the women's file to DHS Household Recode files, to incorporate household variables not yet available in the IPUMS-DHS. However, in some household files, HHNUM and CLUSTERNO do not uniquely identify households in the DHS Household Recode file.
For information about the IPUMS-DHS samples where HHNUM and CLUSTERNO are not sufficient to uniquely identify households, and for guidance on what further steps to take for linking files in such cases, please consult the User Note on Linking. [URL omitted from DDI.]HHNUM is a 4-digit variable.Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSSample-specific cluster numberCLUSTERNO (V001) reports the cluster number for the person's de facto residence.
According to the DHS Sampling Manual, "A cluster is the smallest geographical survey statistical unit for DHS surveys. It consists of a number of adjacent households in a geographical area. For DHS surveys, a cluster corresponds either to an [enumeration area], or a segment of a large [enumeration area]." The most recent census for a country, which divided all territory into enumeration areas to ensure full coverage of the population, often provides the sampling frame for a DHS survey.
CLUSTERNO is the variable indicating the primary sampling unit or PSU. It should be used along with the variable STRATA to account for the impact of the sample design clustering on the estimates of variance and standard errors.
See the notes on DHS webpage "Use sample weights" [URL omitted from DDI.] on variance estimation for additional information.
CLUSTERNO (V001) and HHNUM (V002) can be used to merge the women's individual recode file to the household recode file. See the DHS webpage Merging Datasets [URL omitted from DDI.] on variables to be used for linking data sets.CLUSTERNO is an 8 digit variable.Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSSample-specific ultimate area unitULTAREAUNIT (V004) reports the ultimate area unit for the person's de facto residence.
According to the DHS recode manuals, ULTAREAUNIT
is a number assigned to each sample point to identify the ultimate area units in the collection of data. It is usually the same as the cluster number [CLUSTERNO (V001)], but may be a sequentially numbered variable for samples with a more complicated structure.
ULTAREAUNIT can be used to account for the impact of the sampling design clustering on the variance estimates and standard errors.ULTAREAUNIT (V004) is a 4-digit variable.Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSHousehold line number of woman respondentHOUSEHOLD SCHEDULE

After asking "Please give me the names of the persons who usually live in your household or are staying with you now, starting with the head of the household," the interviewer recorded each name in turn on successively numbered lines printed on the household survey form.001100220033004400550066007700880099010100111101212013130141401515016160171701818019190202002121022220232302424025250262602727028280292903030031310323203333034340353503636037370383803939040400414104242043430444404545046460474704848049490505005151052520535305454055550565605757058580595906060061610626206363064640656506666067670686806969070700717107272073730747407575076760777707878079790808008181082820838308484085850868608787088880898909090091910929209393094940959509696097970989809999100100101101102102103103104104105105106106Identifiers Variables -- TOPICSSample weight for personsPERWEIGHT (V005) is an 8-digit variable with 6 implied decimal places, which should be used as a weighting factor to produce representative numbers accurately describing the surveyed population.
While the DHS Recode Manuals direct the researcher to divide the original weight variable by 1,000,000 before applying the weighting factor to the original DHS data files, it is not necessary to modify the value of PERWEIGHT before applying this weight to cases in IPUMS-DHS.
PERWEIGHT should be used to weight nearly all tabulations made using IPUMS-DHS data. Occasionally, as with the domestic violence variables, a subset of respondents are randomly selected to answer questions from a survey module, and a specialized weight such as DVWEIGHT should be used instead.
Note: The 6 implied decimal places in PERWEIGHT mean that the last six digits of the eight-digit variable are decimal digits, but there is no actual decimal in the data.PERWEIGHT is an 8-digit numeric variable with 6 implied decimal places. See the variable description for directions on the use of PERWEIGHT.Weights and subsample selection Variables -- TOPICSAll woman factor for total populationAWFACTT is a 5-digit variable (in IPUMS-DHS) with 2 implied decimal places that is used to create total population estimates for all women of childbearing age, for those samples interviewing only ever-married women. A post from DHS senior staff member Tom Pullum on the DHS Users Forum explains,
The all-woman factors are needed when you are trying to estimate something for all women, but you have to work with ever-married women because that's all you have in the sample. An example is when you want to estimate a fertility rate for all women but you only have the births and exposure for ever-married women. You have to assume that (a) never-married women have no births and (b) awfact/100 is a multiplier to inflate exposure for ever-married women to exposure for all women.
For surveys that used a sampling frame of all women of childbearing age, AWFACTT has a value of 100 (or 1.00, with two decimal places), and thus has no effect on the survey statistics when used as a multiplier. For samples that included only ever-married women, AWFACTT serves as a multiplier to create total population figures for all women of childbearing age, following the assumptions noted above.
The width of AWFACTT ranges from a low of 3 to a high of 5 in the original DHS files; see Comparability for further discussion.AWFACTT is a 5-digit numeric variable with 2 implied decimal places. See the variable description for directions on the use of AWFACTT.Weights and subsample selection Variables -- TOPICSYear of interviewINTYEAR (V007) reports the year the interview took place.

Century month codes (CMC) are particularly useful for checking the consistency of dates, calculating intervals between events, and imputing dates when the information for an event is missing or partially complete.
Century month codes (CMC) are calculated by multiplying by 12 the difference between the year of an event and 1900. The year 1900 was chosen as the reference period because all of the DHS-relevant events occurred during the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. The month of the event is added to the previous result.
CMC = (Year - 1900) * 12 + Month
For example, the CMC for June 2002 is:
CMC = (2002 - 1900) * 12 + 6 = 1230
In other words, 1,230 months have elapsed between January 1900 and June 2002. Starting with CMC figures, one can calculate the month and year using the following formulas:
Year = int( ( CMC - 1 )/12 ) + 1900
[int(x) is the integer part of x]
Month = CMC minus ( ( Year - 1900 ) * 12 )

AGE IN COMPLETED YEARS ________AGE (V012) reports the woman's age. DHS surveys collect information about the woman's age through questions about age at last birthday and date of birth. DHS Recode Manuals provide the following information about how the AGE variable is calculated:
Current age in completed years is calculated from the century month code of the date of birth of the respondent (V011) and the century month code of the date of interview (V008). In a few cases the age in the data file will be different from that reported by the respondent when the respondent's birthday was in the month of interview, but she had not yet had her birthday. If the respondent correctly reported her age at her last birthday (and not her age at her next birthday) then the calculated age was rounded up from the reported age, to avoid inconsistencies between the age and the century month code for the birth.1010111112121313141415151616171718181919202021212222232324242525262627272828292930303131323233333434353536363737383839394040414142424343444445454646474748484949505051515252535354545555565657575858595960606161626263636464Core demographic Variables -- TOPICSAge in 5 year groups108 How old are you now in completed years?

*FALL=21, WINTER=22, SUMMER=23DOBCMC (V011) reports the century month code (CMC) for the woman's date of birth.
Century month codes (CMC) are particularly useful for checking the consistency of dates, calculating intervals between events, and imputing dates when the information for an event is missing or partially complete.
Century month codes (CMC) are calculated by multiplying by 12 the difference between the year of an event and 1900. The year 1900 was chosen as the reference period because all of the DHS-relevant events occurred during the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. The month of the event is added to the previous result.
CMC = (Year - 1900) * 12 + Month
For example, the CMC for June 2002 is:
CMC = (2002 - 1900) * 12 + 6 = 1230
In other words, 1,230 months have elapsed between January 1900 and June 2002. Starting with CMC figures, one can calculate the month and year using the following formulas:
Year = int( ( CMC - 1 )/12 ) + 1900
[int(x) is the integer part of x]
Month = CMC - ( ( Year - 1900 ) * 12 )

SEASON CODES: FALL=21, WINTER=22, SUMMER=23DOB1STKIDCMC (V211) reports the century month code (CMC) for the date of the woman's first birth.
The Guide to DHS Statistics (2003) explains the use and calculation of CMC values as follows:
Century month codes (CMC) are particularly important to check consistency of dates, to calculate intervals between events, and to impute dates when the information for an event is missing or partially complete.
Century month codes (CMC) are calculated by multiplying by 12 the difference between the year of an event and 1900. That year was chosen as the reference period because all of the DHS relevant events occurred during the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. The month of the event is added to the previous result.
CMC = (Year - 1900) * 12 + Month
For example, the CMC for June 2002 will be:
CMC = (2002 - 1900) * 12 + 6 = 1230
In other words, 1,230 months have elapsed since January 1900 to June 2002. Based on CMC it is possible to calculate the month and year using the following formulas:
Year = int( ( CMC - 1 )/12 ) + 1900
[int(x) is the integer part of x]
Month = CMC - ( ( Year - 1900 ) * 12 )9998Missing9999NIU (not in universe)Fertility Variables -- TOPICSTime since woman's last menstrual period225 How tong ago did your last menstrual period start?

In many countries, persons with secondary or higher levels of schooling were presumed to "read easily," but coding criteria varied across countries. Simply asking women whether and how easily they could read was the approach used to determine literacy in DHS Phases 1-3.
Beginning in Phase 4, a different approach was employed to determine literacy. See LIT2 (V155) for details about that second approach, which involved having the respondent read a sentence aloud.

Initially, respondents were asked, "Can you read a letter or newspaper easily, with difficulty, or not at all?" In many countries, persons with secondary or higher levels of schooling were presumed to "read easily," but coding criteria varied across countries.
Beginning with Phase 4 of the DHS, persons with less than secondary school education were asked to demonstrate their literacy level by reading aloud a sentence on a card and were classified as "cannot read at all," "able to read only parts of sentence," and "able to read whole sentence." As before, those with secondary or higher schooling were presumed to have attained the highest literacy level.
LITBRIG combines information from the first approach of asking about literacy (in LIT1 [V108]) and the second approach of testing literacy based on reading a sentence aloud (in LIT2 [V155]).

UNDECIDED OR DK 8(GO TO 604A)For countries with low contraceptive prevalence, FERTPREF (V602) reports responses to the question, "Would you like to have a (another) child or would you prefer not to have any (more) children"? The standard response categories are "have another," "no more/none," "says she can't get pregnant," and "undecided or don't know."
In Phase I, FERTPREF (V602), was constructed from two questions in countries with high contraceptive prevalence (Model "A" questionnaires). Women who responded that they want another child, but when asked when they would like the next child, respond that they cannot get pregnant, are classified in the "declared infecund category," and not in the "Wants another" category.
Some samples also include the response "up to God." More detailed responses under the general category "says she can't get pregnant" are sometimes available. In IPUMS-DHS, all responses in the general category of "not at risk of pregnancy" share a common first digit of 5, while the second digit distinguishes between the specific reasons. In some countries, women who never had sexual intercourse (coded as "53" in IPUMS-DHS) were not asked the questions relating to their desire for future children.
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.99NIU (not in universe)98Missing53Never had sex52Declared infecund51Sterilized50Not at risk of pregnancy40Up to God30No more20Undecided10Have anotherGeneral family planning Variables -- TOPICSDesire for more children602 Now 1 have some questions about the future.

UNDECIDED OR DK 8(GO TO 604A)KIDDESIRE (V605) is a constructed variable that distinguishes between women who want another child soon (in less than two years), who want another child later (in 2+ years), who want no more children, and who aren't sure (about timing or about the number of children desired).
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
The construction of this variable has changed across phases of the DHS and varies across countries (only sometimes distinguishing between groups of women not at risk of pregnancy due to sterilization, infecundity, or virginity). To maximize comparability across samples, IPUMS-DHS employs composite coding. Women who want more children share a common first digit of 1, women not at risk of pregnancy share a common first digit of 6, and detail present in only some samples is specified in the code's second digit.99NIU (not in universe)98Unknown63Never had sex62Declared infecund61Sterilized60Not at risk of pregnancy51Up to God50Fatalistic response40Wants no more30Undecided13Wants, unsure timing12Wants after 2+ years11Wants within 2 years10Wants more childrenGeneral family planning Variables -- TOPICSWanted last child418 At the time you became pregnant with (NAME), did you want to become pregnant then, did you want to wait until later, or did you want no (more) children at all?

OTHER ANSWER (SPECIFY) ______IDEALKID (V613) reports the ideal total number of children the woman would have liked to have in her whole life, regardless of her actual childbearing. The information is collected through hypothetical questions such as, "If you could go back to the time you did not have any children and could choose exactly the number of children to have in your whole life, how many would that be?" (for women with living children) or "If you could choose exactly the number of children to have in your whole life, how many would that be?" (for women without living children).
If the woman responded with a range of values, IDEALKID reports the midpoint between those values. According to the DHS Recode Manuals, "If the midpoint is not an exact number then the number is rounded up in half the cases and rounded down for the other half." The questionnaires included space for non-numeric "other" responses, such as "Up to God."
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.98Missing97Don't know66Number she has currently65Depends on husband64As many as possible63Never thought about it62Any number/Fatalistic61Up to God/As Allah wills60Non-numeric response5050494948484747464645454444434342424141404039393838373736363535343423232222212120201919181817171616151514141313121211111010099088077066055044033022011000333332323131303029292828272726262525242467As many as can care for68Doesn't want children99NIU (not in universe)General family planning Variables -- TOPICSIdeal number of children (grouped)610 CHECK 202 AND 204:

When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.

NO 2FPEVUSE (V302) is a constructed variable that reports whether the woman had ever used a family planning method and, if so, whether she had used a modern contraceptive method or only a traditional or folkloric method.
In the DHS, modern methods are pill, IUD, injections, diaphragm, condom, female sterilization, male sterilization, implants, female condom, foam/jelly, lactational amenorrhea, and emergency contraception. Traditional methods are periodic abstinence (rhythm), withdrawal, and abstinence. Folkloric methods are the category "other" and country-specific methods (such as herbs or amulet), which vary across samples.00Never used10Used only traditional or folkloric method11Used only traditional method12Used only folkloric method20Used modern methodEver use of family planning Variables -- TOPICSAcceptability of FP message on radio or TV402 ENTER THE LINE NUMBER, NAME AND SURVIVAL STATUS OF EACH BIRTH SINCE JAN. 1984 IN THE TABLE.

When women are the unit of analysis, IPUMS-DHS users may also use BRSFEDNITE_01 (M35_01), which reports how many times the woman breastfed her last-born child the previous night.
When children are the unit of analysis, BFEEDNITE describes a characteristic of the mother, which causes all young children of the mother to be coded the same way. Thus, a response of a certain number of times in BFEEDNITE does not necessarily indicate that a particular child whose record is being analyzed was breastfed that many times during the previous night. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ, when available, the variable BRSFEDNITE (M35) to determine how many times the specific child under analysis was breastfed during the previous night.0000110220330440550660770880991010111112121313141415151616171718181919202021212222232324242525262627272828292930303131323233333434353536363737383839394040+96On demand97Don't know98Missing99NIU (not in universe)Breastfeeding and infant feeding Variables -- TOPICSTimes mother breastfed last child during previous dayFor women who gave birth in the last three to five years and whose last-born child is still breastfeeding, BFEEDAY (V408) reports how many times the mother breastfed that child the previous day during daylight hours.
When women are the unit of analysis, IPUMS-DHS users may also use BRSFEDAY_01 (M36_01), which reports how many times the woman breastfed her last-born child the previous day during daylight hours.
When children are the unit of analysis, BFEEDAY describes a characteristic of the mother, which causes all young children of the mother to be coded the same way. Thus, a response of a certain number of times in BFEEDAY does not necessarily indicate that a child whose record is being analyzed was personally breastfed that many times during the previous day.

NO 2For women who gave birth in the last three to five years and whose last-born child is still alive, BOTTLE24H (V415) indicates whether the last-born child drank anything from a bottle with a nipple during the previous day and night.
When women are the unit of analysis, IPUMS-DHS users may also use BRSFEDBOT_01 (M38_01), which also indicates whether the woman gave her last-born child anything from a bottle with a nipple during the previous day and night.
When children are the unit of analysis, BOTTLE24H describes a characteristic of the mother, which causes all young children of the mother to be coded the same way. If the mother reported that she fed her last-born child with a bottle with a nipple during the previous day or night, all of her children in the data are coded as "yes," including any children who have died or who live elsewhere.
When children are the unit of analysis, a positive response in BOTTLE24H thus does not necessarily indicate that a particular child was actually fed with a bottle with a nipple during the previous day or night. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ, when available, the variable BRSFEDBOT (M38) to determine whether the specific child in question actually drank anything from a bottle with a nipple during the previous day and night.0No1Yes7Don't know8Missing9NIU (not in universe)Breastfeeding and infant feeding Variables -- TOPICSWoman currently breastfeeding any child407 Are you still breastfeeding (NAME)?

Using CASEID and CLUSTERNO, analysts can link IPUMS-DHS data to the original DHS datasets to attach variables that are not currently available in IPUMS-DHS. For example, researchers can use CASEID and CLUSTERNO to link variables from the IPUMS-DHS with other variables from the Woman's Recode file to merge country-specific variables, or to the Household or Couples Recode file to attach variables that are not yet part of IPUMS-DHS.
In most samples, users can identify women who are in the same household by using the first 12 characters of CASEID (and CLUSTERNO (V001)), as this indicates a unique household identifier.
CASEID is generally created by The DHS Program using the variables CLUSTERNO (V001), HHNUM (V002), and LINENO (V003), with the last three characters indicating the respondent's line number in the household file.

interviewed, within each sample.
To identify unique households in most samples, researchers must use HHNUM with CLUSTERNO (V001).
For most samples, HHNUM and CLUSTERNO can be used to merge IPUMS-DHS data from the women's file to DHS Household Recode files, to incorporate household variables not yet available in the IPUMS-DHS. However, in some household files, HHNUM and CLUSTERNO do not uniquely identify households in the DHS Household Recode file.
For information about the IPUMS-DHS samples where HHNUM and CLUSTERNO are not sufficient to uniquely identify households, and for guidance on what further steps to take for linking files in such cases, please consult the User Note on Linking.

According to the DHS Sampling Manual, "A cluster is the smallest geographical survey statistical unit for DHS surveys. It consists of a number of adjacent households in a geographical area. For DHS surveys, a cluster corresponds either to an [enumeration area], or a segment of a large [enumeration area]." The most recent census for a country, which divided all territory into enumeration areas to ensure full coverage of the population, often provides the sampling frame for a DHS survey.
CLUSTERNO is the variable indicating the primary sampling unit or PSU. It should be used along with the variable STRATA to account for the impact of the sample design clustering on the estimates of variance and standard errors.
See the notes on DHS webpage "Use sample weights" [URL omitted from DDI.] on variance estimation for additional information.
CLUSTERNO (V001) and HHNUM (V002) can be used to merge the women's individual recode file to the household recode file.

While the DHS Recode Manuals direct the researcher to divide the original weight variable by 1,000,000 before applying the weighting factor to the original DHS data files, it is not necessary to modify the value of PERWEIGHT before applying this weight to cases in IPUMS-DHS.
PERWEIGHT should be used to weight nearly all tabulations made using IPUMS-DHS data. Occasionally, as with the domestic violence variables, a subset of respondents are randomly selected to answer questions from a survey module, and a specialized weight such as DVWEIGHT should be used instead.
Note: The 6 implied decimal places in PERWEIGHT mean that the last six digits of the eight-digit variable are decimal digits, but there is no actual decimal in the data.PERWEIGHT is an 8-digit numeric variable with 6 implied decimal places. See the variable description for directions on the use of PERWEIGHT.Weights and subsample selection Variables -- TOPICSAll woman factor for total populationAWFACTT is a 5-digit variable (in IPUMS-DHS) with 2 implied decimal places that is used to create total population estimates for all women of childbearing age, for those samples interviewing only ever-married women. A post from DHS senior staff member Tom Pullum on the DHS Users Forum explains,
The all-woman factors are needed when you are trying to estimate something for all women, but you have to work with ever-married women because that's all you have in the sample. An example is when you want to estimate a fertility rate for all women but you only have the births and exposure for ever-married women. You have to assume that (a) never-married women have no births and (b) awfact/100 is a multiplier to inflate exposure for ever-married women to exposure for all women.
For surveys that used a sampling frame of all women of childbearing age, AWFACTT has a value of 100 (or 1.00, with two decimal places), and thus has no effect on the survey statistics when used as a multiplier. For samples that included only ever-married women, AWFACTT serves as a multiplier to create total population figures for all women of childbearing age, following the assumptions noted above.

Century month codes (CMC) are particularly useful for checking the consistency of dates, calculating intervals between events, and imputing dates when the information for an event is missing or partially complete.
Century month codes (CMC) are calculated by multiplying by 12 the difference between the year of an event and 1900. The year 1900 was chosen as the reference period because all of the DHS-relevant events occurred during the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. The month of the event is added to the previous result.
CMC = (Year - 1900) * 12 + Month
For example, the CMC for June 2002 is:
CMC = (2002 - 1900) * 12 + 6 = 1230
In other words, 1,230 months have elapsed between January 1900 and June 2002. Starting with CMC figures, one can calculate the month and year using the following formulas:
Year = int( ( CMC - 1 )/12 ) + 1900
[int(x) is the integer part of x]
Month = CMC minus ( ( Year - 1900 ) * 12 )

ALL INFORMATION COLLECTED IS CONFIDENTIAL AND IS ONLY FOR RESEARCHINTERVIEWERIDIR (V028) reports the interviewer identification code for the interviewer conducting the individual women's interviews for women of childbearing age. Codes are country- and sample-specific; a given numeric code in one survey refers to a different person than the same numeric code in another survey. Numbering of interviewer codes is not necessarily consecutive; some surveys use "0" as an identification code, for example, while others begin with a 3-digit number. Using the interviewer identification codes, researchers can evaluate whether the quality of responses (e.g., the number of "missing" cases) depended on the person conducting the interview.General technical Variables -- TOPICSIdentification number of interviewer, household surveyINTERVIEWERIDHH (HV018) reports the interviewer identification code for the interviewer conducting the household survey.

AGE IN COMPLETED YEARS ________AGE (V012) reports the woman's age. DHS surveys collect information about the woman's age through questions about age at last birthday and date of birth. DHS Recode Manuals provide the following information about how the AGE variable is calculated:
Current age in completed years is calculated from the century month code of the date of birth of the respondent (V011) and the century month code of the date of interview (V008). In a few cases the age in the data file will be different from that reported by the respondent when the respondent's birthday was in the month of interview, but she had not yet had her birthday. If the respondent correctly reported her age at her last birthday (and not her age at her next birthday) then the calculated age was rounded up from the reported age, to avoid inconsistencies between the age and the century month code for the birth.1010111112121313141415151616171718181919202021212222232324242525262627272828292930303131323233333434353536363737383839394040414142424343444445454646474748484949505051515252535354545555565657575858595960606161626263636464Core demographic Variables -- TOPICSAge in 5 year groups108 How old are you now in completed years?

*FALL=21, WINTER=22, SUMMER=23DOBCMC (V011) reports the century month code (CMC) for the woman's date of birth.
Century month codes (CMC) are particularly useful for checking the consistency of dates, calculating intervals between events, and imputing dates when the information for an event is missing or partially complete.
Century month codes (CMC) are calculated by multiplying by 12 the difference between the year of an event and 1900. The year 1900 was chosen as the reference period because all of the DHS-relevant events occurred during the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. The month of the event is added to the previous result.
CMC = (Year - 1900) * 12 + Month
For example, the CMC for June 2002 is:
CMC = (2002 - 1900) * 12 + 6 = 1230
In other words, 1,230 months have elapsed between January 1900 and June 2002. Starting with CMC figures, one can calculate the month and year using the following formulas:
Year = int( ( CMC - 1 )/12 ) + 1900
[int(x) is the integer part of x]
Month = CMC - ( ( Year - 1900 ) * 12 )

SEASON CODES: FALL=21, WINTER=22, SUMMER=23DOB1STKIDCMC (V211) reports the century month code (CMC) for the date of the woman's first birth.
The Guide to DHS Statistics (2003) explains the use and calculation of CMC values as follows:
Century month codes (CMC) are particularly important to check consistency of dates, to calculate intervals between events, and to impute dates when the information for an event is missing or partially complete.
Century month codes (CMC) are calculated by multiplying by 12 the difference between the year of an event and 1900. That year was chosen as the reference period because all of the DHS relevant events occurred during the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. The month of the event is added to the previous result.
CMC = (Year - 1900) * 12 + Month
For example, the CMC for June 2002 will be:
CMC = (2002 - 1900) * 12 + 6 = 1230
In other words, 1,230 months have elapsed since January 1900 to June 2002. Based on CMC it is possible to calculate the month and year using the following formulas:
Year = int( ( CMC - 1 )/12 ) + 1900
[int(x) is the integer part of x]
Month = CMC - ( ( Year - 1900 ) * 12 )9998Missing9999NIU (not in universe)Fertility Variables -- TOPICSTime since woman's last menstrual period225 How tong ago did your last menstrual period start?

In many countries, persons with secondary or higher levels of schooling were presumed to "read easily," but coding criteria varied across countries. Simply asking women whether and how easily they could read was the approach used to determine literacy in DHS Phases 1-3.
Beginning in Phase 4, a different approach was employed to determine literacy. See LIT2 (V155) for details about that second approach, which involved having the respondent read a sentence aloud. See LITBRIG for information about using the data on literacy across all phases of the DHS.00Cannot read10Reads11Reads with difficulty12Reads easily98Missing99NIU (not in universe)Education Variables -- TOPICSLiteracy bridging variable113 Can you read a letter or newspaper easily, with difficulty, or not at art?

Initially, respondents were asked, "Can you read a letter or newspaper easily, with difficulty, or not at all?" In many countries, persons with secondary or higher levels of schooling were presumed to "read easily," but coding criteria varied across countries.
Beginning with Phase 4 of the DHS, persons with less than secondary school education were asked to demonstrate their literacy level by reading aloud a sentence on a card and were classified as "cannot read at all," "able to read only parts of sentence," and "able to read whole sentence." As before, those with secondary or higher schooling were presumed to have attained the highest literacy level.
LITBRIG combines information from the first approach of asking about literacy (in LIT1 [V108]) and the second approach of testing literacy based on reading a sentence aloud (in LIT2 [V155]).

UNDECIDED OR DK 8(GO TO 604A)For countries with low contraceptive prevalence, FERTPREF (V602) reports responses to the question, "Would you like to have a (another) child or would you prefer not to have any (more) children"? The standard response categories are "have another," "no more/none," "says she can't get pregnant," and "undecided or don't know."
In Phase I, FERTPREF (V602), was constructed from two questions in countries with high contraceptive prevalence (Model "A" questionnaires). Women who responded that they want another child, but when asked when they would like the next child, respond that they cannot get pregnant, are classified in the "declared infecund category," and not in the "Wants another" category.
Some samples also include the response "up to God." More detailed responses under the general category "says she can't get pregnant" are sometimes available. In IPUMS-DHS, all responses in the general category of "not at risk of pregnancy" share a common first digit of 5, while the second digit distinguishes between the specific reasons. In some countries, women who never had sexual intercourse (coded as "53" in IPUMS-DHS) were not asked the questions relating to their desire for future children.
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.99NIU (not in universe)98Missing53Never had sex52Declared infecund51Sterilized50Not at risk of pregnancy40Up to God30No more20Undecided10Have anotherGeneral family planning Variables -- TOPICSDesire for more children602 Now 1 have some questions about the future.

When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
The construction of this variable has changed across phases of the DHS and varies across countries (only sometimes distinguishing between groups of women not at risk of pregnancy due to sterilization, infecundity, or virginity). To maximize comparability across samples, IPUMS-DHS employs composite coding. Women who want more children share a common first digit of 1, women not at risk of pregnancy share a common first digit of 6, and detail present in only some samples is specified in the code's second digit.99NIU (not in universe)98Unknown63Never had sex62Declared infecund61Sterilized60Not at risk of pregnancy51Up to God50Fatalistic response40Wants no more30Undecided13Wants, unsure timing12Wants after 2+ years11Wants within 2 years10Wants more childrenGeneral family planning Variables -- TOPICSWanted last child418 At the time you became pregnant with (NAME), did you want to become pregnant then, did you want to wait until later, or did you want no (more) children at all?

OTHER ANSWER (SPECIFY) ______IDEALKID (V613) reports the ideal total number of children the woman would have liked to have in her whole life, regardless of her actual childbearing. The information is collected through hypothetical questions such as, "If you could go back to the time you did not have any children and could choose exactly the number of children to have in your whole life, how many would that be?" (for women with living children) or "If you could choose exactly the number of children to have in your whole life, how many would that be?" (for women without living children).
If the woman responded with a range of values, IDEALKID reports the midpoint between those values. According to the DHS Recode Manuals, "If the midpoint is not an exact number then the number is rounded up in half the cases and rounded down for the other half." The questionnaires included space for non-numeric "other" responses, such as "Up to God."

DK 998For women who want to have a/another child, PREFTIMECH (V603) reports the amount of time, in months or years, they would like to wait before the birth of a/another child (top-coded at 20 years). The complementary variable PREFTIMECH (V604) reports responses to the same question, but in terms of years only, top-coded at 6+ years.
PREFTIMECH includes women who are either pregnant or at risk of pregnancy. However, the definition of "at risk of pregnancy" varies across samples, and the way this variable was asked and calculated also changed over time; see Comparability.100Less than one month (want now)1011 month1022 months1033 months1044 months1055 months1066 months1077 months1088 months1099 months11010 months11111 months11212 months11313 months11414 months11515 months11616 months11717 months11818 months11919 months12020 months12121 months12222 months12323 months12424 months12525 months12626 months12727 months12828 months12929 months13030 months13131 months13232 months13333 months13434 months13535 months13636 months13737 months13838 months13939 months14040 months14141 months14242 months14343 months14444 months14545 months14646 months14747 months14848 months14949 months15050 months15151 months15252 months15353 months15454 months15555 months15656 months15757 months15858 months15959 months16060 months16161 months16262 months16363 months16464 months16565 months16666 months16767 months16868 months16969 months17070 months17171 months17272 months17373 months17474 months17575 months17676 months17777 months17878 months17979 months18080 months18181 months18282 months18383 months18484 months18585 months18686 months18787 months18888 months18989 months19090 months19191 months19292 months19393 months19494 months19595 months19696 months19797 months19898 months199Months, number unspecified200Less than one year2011 year2022 years2033 years2044 years2055 years2066 years2077 years2088 years2099 years21010 years21111 years21212 years21313 years21414 years21515 years21616 years21717 years21818 years21919 years22020 years or more299Years, number unspecified987After weaning989After finishing school990When spouse returns991Up to God992After marriage993Any time994Soon or immediately995Other, non-numeric response996Inconsistent response997Don't know998Missing999NIU (not in universe)General family planning Variables -- TOPICSPreferred waiting time for birth of a(nother) child (grouped)603 How long would you like to wait from now before the birth of a (another) child?

When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.

NO 2FPEVUSE (V302) is a constructed variable that reports whether the woman had ever used a family planning method and, if so, whether she had used a modern contraceptive method or only a traditional or folkloric method.
In the DHS, modern methods are pill, IUD, injections, diaphragm, condom, female sterilization, male sterilization, implants, female condom, foam/jelly, lactational amenorrhea, and emergency contraception. Traditional methods are periodic abstinence (rhythm), withdrawal, and abstinence. Folkloric methods are the category "other" and country-specific methods (such as herbs or amulet), which vary across samples.00Never used10Used only traditional or folkloric method11Used only traditional method12Used only folkloric method20Used modern methodEver use of family planning Variables -- TOPICSAcceptability of FP message on radio or TV402 ENTER THE LINE NUMBER, NAME AND SURVIVAL STATUS OF EACH BIRTH SINCE JAN. 1984 IN THE TABLE.

When women are the unit of analysis, IPUMS-DHS users may also use BRSFEDNITE_01 (M35_01), which reports how many times the woman breastfed her last-born child the previous night.
When children are the unit of analysis, BFEEDNITE describes a characteristic of the mother, which causes all young children of the mother to be coded the same way. Thus, a response of a certain number of times in BFEEDNITE does not necessarily indicate that a particular child whose record is being analyzed was breastfed that many times during the previous night. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ, when available, the variable BRSFEDNITE (M35) to determine how many times the specific child under analysis was breastfed during the previous night.0000110220330440550660770880991010111112121313141415151616171718181919202021212222232324242525262627272828292930303131323233333434353536363737383839394040+96On demand97Don't know98Missing99NIU (not in universe)Breastfeeding and infant feeding Variables -- TOPICSTimes mother breastfed last child during previous dayFor women who gave birth in the last three to five years and whose last-born child is still breastfeeding, BFEEDAY (V408) reports how many times the mother breastfed that child the previous day during daylight hours.
When women are the unit of analysis, IPUMS-DHS users may also use BRSFEDAY_01 (M36_01), which reports how many times the woman breastfed her last-born child the previous day during daylight hours.
When children are the unit of analysis, BFEEDAY describes a characteristic of the mother, which causes all young children of the mother to be coded the same way. Thus, a response of a certain number of times in BFEEDAY does not necessarily indicate that a child whose record is being analyzed was personally breastfed that many times during the previous day.

NO 2For women who gave birth in the last three to five years and whose last-born child is still alive, BOTTLE24H (V415) indicates whether the last-born child drank anything from a bottle with a nipple during the previous day and night.
When women are the unit of analysis, IPUMS-DHS users may also use BRSFEDBOT_01 (M38_01), which also indicates whether the woman gave her last-born child anything from a bottle with a nipple during the previous day and night.
When children are the unit of analysis, BOTTLE24H describes a characteristic of the mother, which causes all young children of the mother to be coded the same way. If the mother reported that she fed her last-born child with a bottle with a nipple during the previous day or night, all of her children in the data are coded as "yes," including any children who have died or who live elsewhere.
When children are the unit of analysis, a positive response in BOTTLE24H thus does not necessarily indicate that a particular child was actually fed with a bottle with a nipple during the previous day or night. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ, when available, the variable BRSFEDBOT (M38) to determine whether the specific child in question actually drank anything from a bottle with a nipple during the previous day and night.0No1Yes7Don't know8Missing9NIU (not in universe)Breastfeeding and infant feeding Variables -- TOPICSWoman currently breastfeeding any child407 Are you still breastfeeding (NAME)?

NOT RETURNED 96PPAMHMOC (M9) reports the duration, in months, of mother's postpartum amenorrhea after the birth of the child, for children born in the three to five years preceding the survey. Mothers whose period had not returned before the following birth or prior to the interview were included in PPAMHMOC. By contrast, only children of women whose menses had resumed were included in the similar variable PPAMHMO.
The maximum period allowed during the data editing (by the survey administrators) was the interval between the date of birth of the child and the date of conception of the mother's following child (with birth date minus nine months used for the date of conception) or the date of interview if there was no following birth.
For DHS Phase II forward, inconsistent durations based on the original reporting of the duration of amenorrhea were recoded to "Inconsistent" (code "96" in IPUMS-DHS). In cases where the duration was one month longer than the interval, the duration was shortened by one month, consistent with Phase I. For Model "A" countries in Phase II only, if the duration of mother's postpartum amenorrhea extended into her pregnancy in the calendar, the duration was shortened to the start of the following pregnancy.000 months0110220330440550660770880991010111112121313141415151616171718181919202021212222232324242525262627272828292930303131323233333434353536363737383839394040414142424343444445454646474748484949505051515252535354545555565657575858595996Inconsistent97Don't know98Missing99NIU (not in universe)Child health postpartum Variables -- TOPICSDuration of breastfeeding in months406 Did you ever feed (NAME) at the breast?

NO 2For children born in the three to five years preceding the survey, BRSFEDUR (M4) reports the calculated months of breastfeeding for those who are no longer being breastfed.
The related variable BRSFEDMO (M5) differs by including children who were still breastfeeding at the time of the interview. The variable BRSFEDCAT provides categorical information about breastfeeding, by indicating whether children were ever breastfed, and, if so, whether they are still breastfeeding.
The maximum period allowed for BRSFEDUR during the data editing (by survey administrators) was the interval between the date of birth of the child and the date of interview.

NO 2For children born in the three to five years before the survey, BRSFEDMO (M5) reports the calculated months of breastfeeding, including cases where 1) the child's mother was still breastfeeding at the time of the interview or 2) the child had been breastfed until his or her death. Cases in these two categories were excluded from the related variable BRSFEDUR on the duration of breastfeeding.
For DHS Phase II forward, inconsistent durations based on the original report of the duration of breastfeeding were coded as "Inconsistent." In cases where the reported duration was one month longer than the relevant interval, the duration was shortened by one month.
