Hi! I am looking into the variables regarding prenatal care. For some variables, it is entirely blank, representing by a dot (.) but some of the variables have responses and with a dot (.) as well. From the DHS manual, it is said that any category not used in a particular
country is left blank. For some variables ie m2n_6, the responses of the entire column is (.), should I take that as missing value or an unanswered question? For some variables ie m2n_1, there are yes/no responses and a (.) as well, how should I interpret the dots? By the way, is there a way I can find questions I asked in this forum? Thank you!
