Dear DHS team,

I wanted to double-check with you about the variable v511 which is in the IR data and refers to the age at first co-habitation. Can I consider this variable as reported by the woman or rather as imputed by you? There are also two other variables v509 (imputed date of first cohabitation?) and v510 (completeness of information in v509). I guess that you perform imputation techniques as indicated by v510 but I am not sure if this variable indicates only the imputation on v509 or I can also extrapolate it to the v511. I am mainly interested to know to what extent the v511 is self-reported.

I hope that you can help me with a bit more clarification on the v509, v510 and v511 variables.

Thank you!
