I want to merge PDHS data with GIS data. In this, I am interested to find average temperature for each month of years (2012-2018) like Mar 2014, April 2016 and so on. Is there a way that I can get this data?

Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You might look at this Further Analysis Report: Trends in Neonatal Mortality in Rwanda, 2000-2010 [FA88]https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FA88/FA88.pdf. I would recommend logistic regression, as used in this report, although not necessarily the decomposition, which is a lot more work and harder to interpret.

Hi,
I am working on determinants of antenatal care for the state of Jammu and Kashmir (India). I am using the 'Individual Recode' file. With regard to Wealth wealth index, I find various versions wealth index in the data, for instance, All women factor - Wealth Index, Wealth Index combined, Wealth Index factor scores combined (5 decimals) etc. I am not sure which one I should use, keeping in mind that my analysis is restricted to the women who have had a live birth in five years preceding the survey.
Please help.

Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The table with 1, 623.14 births after August 2019 was constructed with this command: "tab v024 birthdate [iweight=v005/1000000]". The table with just 13.697 births after August 2019 was constructed with "tab v024 birthdate if bidx==1 & v213==1 [iweight=v005/1000000]". Both frequencies were weighted, but the second and much smaller frequency was limited to the most recent birth (bidx=1) and to women who are pregnant at the time of the survey (v213=1). They are a very small subset of the births in the first table. These tables were what I understood you to be requesting.

You say that you are trying to measure the potential impact of an intervention related to ANC care. I don't see how either of these tables could be used to describe such an impact. This is an interesting question, but this survey may not be appropriate for answering it. I would like to help but the question is outside the scope of the user forum. I hope other users can help.

Here is a journal article that may help, but it uses two successive surveys:

Mallick, Lindsay, Trinadh Dontamsetti, Thomas Pullum, and Julia Fleuret. 2019. Using the Uganda Demographic and Health Surveys from 2011 and 2016 to assess changes in Saving Mothers, Giving Life intervention districts. J. of Global Health Research 3. doi:10.29392/joghr.3.e2019026.
