Following is a response from DHS staff member Tom Pullum:

Good call, Emma, You are right. Other evidence comes from a comparison with the 2010-11 ZW survey, in which the bulk of the values for mv852 a-c have first digit 4, for years. There is a coding error for question 420 in the Men's questionnaire. The questionnaire shows the usual 4 categories, but the data capture program only has the following 3 categories:

Days ago 1
Months ago 2
Years ago 3

Thus the 300 series of codes should be 400s, and the 200 series of codes should be 300s in the recode file. This doesn't appear to affect the women's data or question 415, just question 420. (Response from Trevor Croft and Tom Pullum)
