Hi, I am analyzing the Pakistan data set for reproductive health KAP and health system capacity. I am using the individual recode pkir52. There is a codebook and then there is a basic summary tables files. I can also access the questionnaire from the published report. However, I am having difficulty in understanding the way the questions were asked. For example; the variable m34_1 in the STATA file, it is not clear to me how the response was recorded? If it was in minutes/hours/days so that when I recode the same variable into the categories I need, I do them correctly. I am also having the same problem in the variables: m13_1 and m14_1.

In addition, i do not find these variables m13_1 etc in the codebook. The codebook only has m13 or m14. I wonder if these variables were modified to make them to m13_1 or m14_1.
