Response from Lady Ortiz, Senior Data Processing Specialist:

Dear user,

You should check variables names that start with the letter "S" (these are "Country Specific"). In the case of Rwanda 2010, the district variable name is SHDISTR.

Thanks

Thanks a lot for your response .

However , it does not resolve my issues. I would like to compare mean values of a given variable Y over time 2005, 2007-2008, 2010 by district. However, districts values contained in shdist are not the same in 2005 (11 districts), 2007-2008 (10 districts) and 2010 (30 districts).
If take the current 30 districts as my reference geographic unit, on which basis could I affect enumeration area of the 2007-08 and 2005 survey in these 30 districts ?
Many thanks in advance

They are all in the same dictionary -- open the .map file in any text editor to search for variables.

For country specific questions, the variables are generally named and coded in the same way as they were on the questionnaire. The variable will have a leading "SH" if the question was asked at the household level, a leading "S" if asked at the women's level, and a leading "SM" if asked at the men's level.

Thanks

Following is a response from our Senior Sampling Specialist, Ruilin Ren:

The Rwanda DHS 2005 used 12 provinces, and HV024 has 12 values. There were no districts specified in the 2005 Rwanda DHS. The 2007-2008 Rwanda Interim DHS used the county's new structure with 5 provinces (Rwanda changed the country structure after the 2005 DHS), no districts were specified. The 2010 DHS used the country's new structure with 5 provinces and 30 districts, the variable SHDIST identifies the 30 districts.

One can match the new provinces and districts with the old 12 provinces, but not in the other direction. You cannot split the 2005 DHS data or the 2007-2008 data into 30 districts because there is no identifier in the data file.

Dear Ruilin Ren , Thank you very much for your answer
to follow on waht you say "One can match the new provinces and districts with the old 12 provinces, but not in the other direction". I can find the correspondence between old and new provinces except for Kigali rural that is split between eastern and northern new provinces.
How do i know which part of kigali rural goes to eastern and which part of kigali rual goes to northern?
thanks in advance

Response from Ruilin Ren:

The question is not clear enough for me to provide a precise answer. I assume that you don't know how to split the old province "Kigali Ngali" (the Kigali rural) into North and East provinces for the 2005 DHS data. There are two variables in the data file: HV024 defines the old 12 provinces, and SH90 defines the 5 new provinces, so you can solve the problem by using these two variables.

The variable SH90 was renamed to SHREGNAT in the latest version of the dataset. Please look for: SHREGNAT: Natural region. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,

Bridgette
