Hey there,

I'm having a problem with the child height and weight variables for Turkey DHS 2008. I'm using the hw70 variable in my research project. Before 2013, this variable is missing from the datasets. For the years 1993-2003, I'm able to retrieve this variable from the "Height and Weight Scores - WHO Child Growth Standards" supplementary dataset. But for 2008, this supplementary dataset is not available and the variable also doesn't exist in the BR dataset. I'd appreciate your help on this.

Thanks,
Selen

Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You are correct--there is no "HW" file for this survey that includes the WHO Z scores. I hope DHS will be able to produce and post such a file soon.
