1) I saw some survey years of DHS data are 2015-2016, and some are 2015, what's the difference? 2015-2016 means two-year data set while 2015 means only a one-year dataset?
Which DHS surveys are you referring to? Generally speaking, if a survey is titled 2015-16, it indicates that the year of fieldwork spanned both years.

2) you said "SNG0 includes the combined 2015 and 2016 rounds while SN71 files include just the 2016 round", but there is a file for the year 2015, which is SN7H, so SNG0=SN71+SN7H, right?
SNG0 contains the data for both the 2015 and 2016 rounds.

3) "Men were included in the 2014 round but not the 2012-13 round"- this refers to the MR file, right?
Men refers to what you will find in the MR data.
