Dear Marejoha,

For samples in IPUMS-DHS, there is documentation for each variable. When you click on the name of a variable, you will see a series of tabs. One is "Universe," which explains who was asked the question. Another is "Survey Text," which provides the exact question wording (translated into English) and the ability to jump into the questionnaire to see the surrounding questions as well.

This can be very helpful for determining who has missing values and why.

Good luck!
