Hello,

I am using the FGM module in Mali2012 survey. After some initial analyses I have noted that there exist entries in the FGM history (as identified by the index to birth history variable) which correspond to a given index child who is a male. I have identified 36 such cases (for example women caseid "39280 2" according to birth history never had a girl child, yet for the same woman in the FGM history there is information that one of her daugthers was circumcised). Have anyone ever noted issue like that in this, or other survey?

I am not sure what to do in that case: which module to trust more - birth histories or FGM? Should I exclude such cases from the FGM history assuming that these children were boys and the information was incorrectly collected? Or might that be that a boy reported in a birth history was a girl?

I would be greatful for you help.

Best wishes,
Ewa
