Dear DHS Program
I would like to examine the intimate partner violence variables (RECDV WD1) and child height and weight under age 5 (REC44 W44) contained in the Individual Questionnaire (IR File UGIR7BSV). Unfortunately, there seems to be an issue in the dataset: there are no child nutrition values for any of the women who responded to the domestic violence module, even though the dataset indicates that there are 5615 respondents to the domestic violence module with at least one child. Do you know why/how the nutrition-related variables related to all of these children can be blank?
I wondered whether mothers needed to be matched to children via the household number or birth index, but this is not the case in other DHS datasets. Moreover, there are child nutrition values for other respondents, just not the respondents to the domestic violence module.
I would very grateful for a response, as this seems to be a serious issue and may affect other important ongoing Uganda DHS analyses.
Thank you very much in advance and kind regards
JSD
