Dear DHS team,

I hope you are doing well.

I have 2 questions which I wanted to clarify

1) Which variable exactly defines residence of the respondent (urban/rural)? I see that there are multiple variables that collect this information(hv025, v025, mv025, v102, mv102), which of these should I use to find proportion of respondents in urban vs rural? Additionally, how is this variable coded? responses are (1/2) what is rural and what is urban? I could not find this information in Guide to DHS statistics.

2) Which variable should I use for mothers education? I can see that hv106, hc62 and hc61 all record mothers education. Which of these should I use? And even within these variables there are multiple variables hv106_01, hv106_02 and so on. Which One should I use?

It would be great if you can help me with these queries.

Warm wishes
Mahir
