Hello,

I am trying to use the file IAIR74FL.DTA to find the percent of respondents surveyed for the domestic violence module that have ever experienced domestic violence vs. the percent that have experienced domestic violence in the last 12 months. I am looking at the recode manual (Recode6_DHS_22March2013_DHSG4.pdf -- picture attached) and it looks like both versions of the dv questions (ever vs. last 12 months) were recoded to a single question.

Using IAIR74FL.DTA, is there a way to distinguish between whether or not a respondent experienced domestic violence in the past 12 months vs ever?

If not, is there a way to do that with another data set?

Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Dear User,
Here is a portion of how these variables were coded in CSPro in the recode application: Please look at the questionnaire to see both parts of the questions, the 1st part of "ever happened", the 2nd part "in the last 12 months".
 { Physical violence }
      box Q1107A1 => D105A;       { push, shake, throw something }
            1    => Q1107A2;
            2    => 0;
                 => Q1107A1;
      endbox;
      if Q1107A1 = 1 & Q1107A2 in notappl,missing then D105A = 4 endif;    { for widows }
      box Q1107C1 => D105B;       { slap }
            1    => Q1107C2;
            2    => 0;
                 => Q1107C1;
      endbox;
      if Q1107C1 = 1 & Q1107C2 in notappl,missing then D105B = 4 endif;    { for widows }
      box Q1107D1 => D105C;       { punch with fist }
            1    => Q1107D2;
            2    => 0;
                 => Q1107D1;
      endbox;
      if Q1107D1 = 1 & Q1107D2 in notappl,missing then D105C = 4 endif;    { for widows }
      box Q1107E1 => D105D;       { kick or drag }
            1    => Q1107E2;
            2    => 0;
                 => Q1107E1;
