Hi,

I am new to using DHS dataset. Hence, may be my question is very naive.

So, I read the manuals, recode maps and downloaded the respective databases to study child health and the features of mother. However, I have a doubt:

How can I find out the precise question which translates into a specific variable ?

The recode map and the manuals helped me in understanding what a variable stands for and what is measured by it. But I would like to know which precise question was asked for a specific variable.

I would appreciate any help.

Many thanks..!!!

Regards
Kinsuk
