Hello everyone,

I would like to do research on disability, specifically hearing loss, which is included in the household characteristics section of the DHS Standard survey. In other DHS standard surveys in which disability questions are included, the variable is called "dhis4" and includes values that represent levels of hearing loss in household members. In the Indian 19-20 survey, this variable does not exist. There is four variables associated with hearing loss, and my understanding is that each one is for one household member other than the responder (only up to four were included - sh33a1a, sh33b1a, sh33c1a, and sh33d1a) and they is labeled as " person 01 (02,03,04):disablity - hearing " and the values are yes and no. I have searched for the actual survey in the country report, but it does not appear to be included.

Can anyone guide me as what this represents? What questions were asked and what constitutes a "yes"? I have already written to the two e-mail addresses on the country report for guidance, but have not received a response. I would be grateful for any guidance.

Thanks,
SA
