Hello,
I am currently working with the couples recode of the DV data set.I just realized that the data on alcohol consumption and frequency of misuse is missing in the couples recode for Cameroun and Congo but available in their respective individual recodes. Is there an available formula for calculating the responses for the couple recode based on the individual recode or will it be appropriate to use the responses from the individual recode as it is.I am interested in alcohol misuse and DV in couples currently married or cohabiting.
Your swift response will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Here is an answer from one of our experts, Noureddine Abderrahim:
In Cameroon 2011 the question on alcohol consumption is not asked. For Congo DR , it is asked and exists in the couple's files under V835A, B, and C and MV835A, B, and C.

Hello DHS Experts,

Please I am conducting a study which requires the use of data on alcohol consumption by women in Ghana. However, unlike the GDHS 2008, I cannot find the alcohol consumption status in the GDHS 2014. Could it be that the latter excluded the variable?

Thank you
Samie
