According to the methodology of the DHS of Haiti, information related to diabetes and hypertension was collected in women and men aged 35-64 for 1/3 of households. Using the individual files (IR or MR) for the hypertension calculation (for example, s1112c s106cc in IR file), I find a sample different from the member file (PR).The sample of the individual file (IR or MR) corresponds to the information displayed in the final report.
My problem is that I cannot only use the data from the individual files (IR or MR) because the diabetes (shb263b or shb381) is not in the individual files. It is a major problem that the guide or recoding manual does not mention this module related to these chronic diseases. We cannot find the variable names, the denominator, etc.
