Hi everyone,
I was trying to work with DHS data, especially variables on child diarrhea cases. I am interested in the variable obtained from the question, "Did (NAME) experience diarrhea in the last two weeks?" I understand the reference period in this question is two weeks, but I wanted to work on this indicator as an annual occurrence.
How can I go about it? Please assist, and thanks in advance..

Just to add on to that - while you can't get a rate of diarrheal incidence for EVERY year, you can get an average under-5 rate for each SURVEY year. So you can get one year for each survey round conducted in a country, and those should be comparable over time at the national level.
