That's very helpful, thank you. So I don't have top keep bugging you about how to find consanguinity variables, is there a better way to identify which questions in a dataset refer to consanguinity than just opening the MAP file and searching for keywords relating t consanguinity (blood, cousin, relation, etc.)?

I know that consanguinity and domestic violence should only be in individual recodes. I have used this link ( https://dhsprogram.com/What-We-Do/survey-search.cfm?pgtype=m ain&SrvyTp=country#CGI.Script_Name#?pgType=main&Srvy Tp=#SrvyTp#) to sort which DHS's have both DV module and the women's module, which can contain the consanguinity module. But once I get the data, I don't really know of a better way to identify questions relating to consanguinity than the methiod described above. The consanguinity module ( https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSQMP/consanguinity_module. pdf.pdf) suggests these questions should be 510 A and B, but that doesn't seem to be consistently applied across datasets. The same goes for the women's status module.

Thanks again for all your help
