Duplicated label categories
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=17802&th=8232#msg_17802
I noticed that e.g. in file ZWIR52DT.ZIP, the included Stata file has duplicated code for some labels. E.g. in variable h46a_1 field worker is coded as 15 & 25 (see below). Any reason for this? Are these different types of field workers or is this an error?

Following is a response from DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:
For this variable, first digit "1" indicates "public" and first digit "2" indicates "private". Code 15 is used for public fieldworkers and code 25 for private fieldworkers. ]]>Bridgette-DHS2019-06-26T17:17:05-00:00Re: Duplicated label categories

standard" has duplicated labels for "wood" and a strange label for the potential answer 97 NOT DE JURE RESIDENT:
Why are there two codes for wood? Are these specific types? Or error in the country coding conversion? Where can I find this information? The codebooks seem to only have the variable names, but not the codes and labels.]]>ozak2019-08-05T16:19:48-00:00
