Dear User,
Here is a reponse from one of our programming experts, Guillermo Rojas:
B13 is a variable that gives an indication of the quality and imputation needed for children's age at death. Code 6 in that variable indicates that the information on age at death doesn't comply with the instruction that the interviewers are given to collect that variable, these instructions are:
220
IF DEAD:
How old was (NAME) when he/she died?
IF '1 YR', PROBE:
How many months old
was (NAME)?
RECORD DAYS IF
LESS THAN 1
MONTH; MONTHS IF
LESS THAN TWO
YEARS; OR YEARS.
If those instructions aren't followed variable B13 is set to code 6 (i.,e., if the age at death was given as : 0 months, or 1 year, or more than 30 days or more than 23 months).
If this has not answered your question adequately, please reply
Thank you!
