I am Yunhee, PhD student in Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.

I have been doing a situation analysis for the nutrition and health status of adolescent girls with Burkina Faso DHS STATA dataset (round6).

Then when i downloaded those dataset, it seems like that there is no variable available (e.g. hv022, v022, mv022) for sample strata for sampling errors in DHS STATA dataset of Burkina Faso.

I would like to know how and where I can get these variables, and if these are not available, then what other variables to be used instead of hv022, v022, mv022?

I have uploaded a new version of the dataset. If you are a registered user, you'd receive a "Data Alert", with notes on what changed in the datasets. You can login to your DHS user account, and download the new version.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and for your patience.

I am Marie, PhD student in UCP.

I m also working on DHS STATA dataset from Burkina Faso ( 2003 not 2010).

The variables hv022, v022 and mv022 are also missing.

Same question as Yunhee I would like to know how and where I can get these variables, and if these are not available, then what other variables to be used instead of hv022, v022, mv022?

Best,

For Burkina Faso 2003, please use HV023, V023, and MV023 in place of HV022, V022 and MV022.
