Dear User,
I am not a programmer, but I have attached two files. They both relate to CSPro and have information which will help you identify the variables used in Chapter 15 of the Bangladesh DHS2011 final report. Many of these variables are country specific. The first file, CHAPT15_Table_Definitions.txt is a text file and contains the table definitions for the tables used in the final report. The second file, TABWORK_CH15.txt contains a description of most of the variable names used and their value labels if any. Both can be opened with a regular text editor. You can also reference the map file distributed with the data to see all the recoded variables in the dataset. It is important to know that most of the tables in our Final Reports are Weighted unless it says otherwise in the report.

To help in your analysis with standard variables (not country specific), you may also want to read The Guide to DHS Statistics http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG1/Guide_to_DHS_Statistics _29Oct2012_DHSG1.pdf, The Standard Recode Manual http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG4/Recode6_DHS_22March2013 _DHSG4.pdf and check out our section of Using Datasets for Analysis on our website http://dhsprogram.com/data/Using-DataSets-for-Analysis.cfm

Thank you!
