Hi,

I'd like to ask a few questions about Indonesia DHS.

1. Prelacteal question in IDHS 2017 (m55z_1) shows that 100% respondents give prelacteal feeding (file attached). This seems strange as the Indonesian DHS report mentions that prelacteal feeding prevalence was only 44%. Previous datasets did not show any problem with the same var. The m55_1 makes more sense (46%, unweighted) but the question is not exactly the same. So I just need to confirm, is m55_1 the prelacteal variable in IDHS 2017? Kindly correct me if I'm mistaken.

2. Religion variable (v130) shows no observation in IDHS 2012 and 2017, but it does in previous datasets (attached). Is there any way I could access it?

3. There is a question "Were you given an MCH book for this pregnancy" (409B) in IDHS 2012 and 2017 questionnaire but I couldn't the Stata variable. Tried looking it up in the recode guide book as well but no luck. Is there any way I could access it? Apologies if I missed it.

Looking forward to your help. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I noticed that in your question you referred to the report of 2017 Indonesia DHS. I tried to download it but it does not seem to be available on the webpage ( https://dhsprogram.com/what-we-do/survey/survey-display-522. cfm). Could you share where you took the report from?

Thanks!

Following is a response from DHS Senior Research Associate, Lindsay Mallick:

1) You can use variable m55_1 to assess any prelacteal feed. It appears m55z_1 was not populated- please disregard that variable. Please see the Guide to Statistics for more information on this indicator https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG1/Guide_to_DHS_Statistic s_DHS-7.pdf
2) The survey did not collect data on religion.
3) As for MCH book, there is a variable, s409b_1, which is antenatal card seen. I believe that is what you are looking for.

Hi Ewa,

I'm referring to the Indonesian version of IDHS. You can find it here http://sdki.bkkbn.go.id/?lang=id&what=book.
To my knowledge, the English version is not released yet, I'm also waiting for it.

Hi,

I have some other questions about some IDHS 2017 variables.

Firstly, I just wanted to confirm that s413d (signs of danger or complications) is the same variable as s414d (complications during pregnancy)in the 2012 dataset? (I'm pretty confident the variable refers to a question which is the same in both years, but the variable as well as the description appears to have changed which is confusing)

Secondly, I was hoping for some further clarification on this variable which I think might be a translation error.

s413df = signs of danger or complications: vomiting and numb in face or headache with con
Q413D in the Women's Survey answer F is "Bengkak kaki, tangan dan wajah atau sakit kepala disertai kejang" which I translate to 'swollen feet, hands and face or sore head with convulsions'

While similar, these are clearly different so I am thinking that they are supposed to relate to the same answer? Is it possible this is a poor translation? Or is this in fact a separate response? This same answer was not available in 2012 and an English translation of the 2017 questionnaire hasn't been released as far as I can tell to cross check.

Many thanks for any clarification that can be offered,
Kai

Dear Kai,

Please refer to Appendix F in both surveys and you will find that q413d in the 2017 survey is similar but not identical to q414d in the 2012 survey. In 2017, q413c reads: "Did you have any complications during this pregnancy (NAME)?" If YES, the respondent is asked q413d "What are the signs of danger or complications? Anything else?" In 2012, q414c asks "Did you have any complications during this pregnancy (NAME)? Any other complications?" and IF YES, "What are they?. I would advise caution when comparing given the wording in English, unless the translations are worded more similarly.

I believe CONVULSIONS AND FAINTING in 2012 and VOMITTING AND NUMB IN FACE OR HEADACHE WITH CONVULSIONS are both intended to reflect signs of pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. I would also advise caution in comparing responses that aren't identical.

Thank you,
Lindsay

The variables mentioned, have "NA" (not applicable) after the variable name in the labels. A variable is not applicable for a respondent either because the question was not asked in the survey, or because the question was not asked of the respondent due to the flow or skip pattern of the questionnaire. Please take a closer look at the questionnaire for the country you are working with - all questionnaires are in the appendix of the final report.

You may also go to IPUMS-DHS to access documentation on each variable. Once you click on the name of a variable, you are presented with a series of tabs. Select the "Universe," tab to get details on who was asked the question. If you select the "Survey Text" tab, you will get the exact wording of the question, with a link to other questions in that section of the questionnaire.
