Following on the previous question, I would like to ask one more regarding the FGM module in Mali2012.

In the recode there is a variable g108 (number of daugthers circumcised). I would like to know how this variable is obtained. In the questionnaire for that survey (at the back of the final report) there is no variable/question which directly asks women about the number of daugthers circumcised. However, the FGM status is asked about all daugthers born after 1997 still alive. Is that variable computed on the basis of these histories?

I am interested in this information because I am trying to figure out the meaning of missing values in the FGM history. There are cases where e.g. a woman has three daugthers alive born starting 1997 yet there is information about the FGM history only for two of them (there is no information for the third daugther). Then, the variable g108 states that a woman has two daugthers circumcised. Was that obtained from these histories meaning that the FGM information for the third daugther is missing OR I can infer from the g108 that if only two daugthers were circumcised the third one for who there is no information was not circumcised?

Thank for your help.

Best wishes,
Ewa
