Greetings, I am currently working with the DHS 2018 data for camerooN. The DHS files I was asked to download were 4 (individual,household,birth,fieldworker) but no information on where and how the collection of those variable was done. Hence I have difficulties to know how to extract the information I need and how to go about my analysis,especially that many variables repet themselves between different folderd. Further more ,I dont know which variables I can use to calculate maternal mortality ratios;
THANK YOU
