Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
You can check for the presence of specific variables in a survey by looking at the final report, as well as the data files. I checked and it does appear that blood samples were not taken, but the usual questions about iodine, vitamin A supplements, etc., that do not require a blood sample, were included.
If a variable is not included in the standard recode files, then it wasn't collected.
