Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Kia Reinis:

You can familiarize yourself with the Model Questionnaires to get an idea of what data are collected in most surveys run in that phase. If the Model Questionnaire changed from collecting data on children in the previous 5 years to collecting the data for children born in the previous 3 years, for example, then surveys in that phase will have done so as well. Or you can use STATcompiler to see which surveys included particular indicators. For example, you could look up the indicator percentage of births below 2.5 KG and decide whether you want to get results for a particular survey, for recent surveys, for all surveys. STATcompiler returns results for births in the last 3 years and births in the last 5 years in two separate columns. Overall, 222 surveys have birth-weight data, of which 22 have data for 3 years, but not 5 years. All of the three-year data are from surveys conducted in the 1990's (with exception of the 2002 Vietnam DHS).
