Wealth Index analysis was introduced to DHS by the end of the 90's. When the decision to include the wealth index as part of DHS was made, standard variables were introduced to the recode definition for both the household and individual questionnaires (HV270 and HV271 for households; V190 and V191 for women; and MV190 and MV191 for men).

For previous surveys a file containing the score and the quintile variables, was created. Essentially wealth index files were created for all DHS surveys except surveys carried out as part of the first DHS phase. This file can be found on the dataset page, once you are logged into your account. Please look for the following file names:

1993 - GHWI31*.*
1998 - GHWI41*.*
