DHS Kids File Question [message #5475]

Does DHS collect any data on children between the ages of 6 and 15? Looking through the recode manual, I see data is collected for men and women above 15, and for children born in the last 5 years, but I'm not seeing any other age ranges. I'm currently working on a child nutritional health project and wanted to include older children as well. Forgive me if I'm overlooking something, still new to using this data!

Thanks!

Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Trevor Croft:

We collect education data and occasionally some other indicators such as child discipline for children age 5 and above as part of the household surveys.

The recent Egypt 2014 survey collected anthropometry for children of all ages including those from age 5-19 years. See section 12.4.2 in the following report: http://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR302/FR302.pdf#page=199
