Missing values for v447a 2014 Ghana DHS
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=18552&th=8584#msg_18552
The variable, v447a, women's age in years (from household questionnaire) in the KR file of the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey has 2,852 observations having missing values. I will like to know if it is correct or it is an error.
Thank you.

Quote:
V477a is based on HA1 (Woman's age in years) in the household recode. HA1 is based on the women in the weight, height, hemoglobin measurement and HIV testing for women 15-49 section. This section is only asked for women in households selected for the man's survey (50% of the households). Thus women not living in households selected for the man's survey were assigned missing to V477a.

Thanks very much for the information.
I see in the KR file, the variable v012, which is "respondent's current age".
My question is, are the respondents the mothers of the children in the KR file?
Thanks.

I need further clarification of missing data for some other variables for 2008 and 2014 Ghana DHS KR files. Are the following genuinely missing or they are errors?
b11 has 684 missing data for 2008 and 1356 missing for 2014.
s1015d has missing in 2008 and s1050 missing for 2014.
v505 has 280 missing in 2008 and 832 missing in 2014.
Thank you.]]>Vaskset2020-01-18T23:43:25-00:00Re: Missing values for v447a 2014 Ghana DHS

Thank you for the information.
I am not look at the GDHS reports for the missing data.
I am working with the KR data set for 2008 and 2014 and both contain missing value for b11 (preceding birth interval).
Also, s1015d has missing in 2008 and s1050 missing for 2014. and
v505 has 280 missing in 2008 and 832 missing in 2014.
I just want to be sure they are geniuely missing.
In addition, 'number of times took sp/fansidar/malafan during this pregnancy' has values has high as 24 in the KR for 2008 and 2014.
Does that mean the pregnant woman took 24 doses? of the it.
Thanks.
