Thanks for your post. For information on why municipality-level identifiers are not included in the recode files, please view the following topic: http://userforum.measuredhs.com/index.php?t=msg&th=70&am p;am p;start=0&S=fb886831fc5ee39741100a1b01251be8. For the Honduras 2011-12 survey, one way to assign municipality names to the clusters would be to use the coordinates from the GPS dataset within a Geographic Information System (GIS) to join the displaced cluster locations to a municipality boundary polygon shapefile. For the 2005-06 survey, no GPS data was collected so it is only possible to determine the survey region in which the clusters are located. You can view and download the DHS region boundaries for each of our surveys, including for Honduras at the boundaries page of our Spatial Data Repository website: http://spatialdata.dhsprogram.com/boundaries.html?country=HN .

Information on our policy of GPS displacement and how to account for it in your analysis can be found here http://userforum.measuredhs.com/index.php?t=msg&th=19&am p;am p;start=0&S=fb886831fc5ee39741100a1b01251be8. The displacement of the GPS data for the 2011-12 Honduras DHS was restricted at the level of the DHS region (v024 in the recode file). This means that during the cluster displacement process, it was ensured that no clusters crossed any region boundary, but it was possible for a cluster to cross a lower level (e.g. municipality) boundary during the displacement process.

If this has not answered your question adequately, please reply.
