Knowing the exact date of interview [message #28518]

HI, I was wondering if there is any way to get access to information that will tell me the day a survey was conducted? I am trying to run an analysis where I am matching historical temperature and precipitation data to a DHS cluster. I know how to access the month of the survey. If I could have a finer resolution, however, then I would be able to have a better estimate of weekly or monthly temperature and precipitation leading up to the survey.

Thanks!

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

The day, month, and year of each household interview is given in the HR and PR files by hv016, hv006, and hv007, respectively. The local calendar is used in surveys in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and Nepal, and you would want to convert those dates to the Gregorian calendar.
