Following is a response by Senior DHS Staff, Trevor Croft and Tom Pullum:
The child discipline module was developed at UNICEF for MICS surveys. The MICS tabulation plan says the following: "The child discipline module is administered in both the Questionnaire for Children Under Five and the Questionnaire for Children Age 5-17. The module is administered for all children age 1-4, but only to one randomly selected child age 5-17 (if age 5-14). To account for the random selection, the household sample weight is multiplied by the total number of children age 5-17 in each household; this weight is used when producing data on 5-14 year old children in this table." The references to the age range are inconsistent, but in the Myanmar survey the age range was 5-14.
DHS should have followed the same procedures, and weighted up the responses from the randomly selected child. If it did not do so, that was an error. We are too busy with other activities at this time to look further into this question.
