Our team read the recently published DHS report on SOGIE data--Collecting Diverse Data on Gender and Sexuality in Demographic Health Surveys: An Overview. It was an excellent read and we are working on developing a data brief reviewing some of the data you can access in the surveys mentioned in Table 7. Specifically, we were interested in reviewing crosstabs of FP data with SOGIE topics for (1) 2015 Colombia DHS, (2) 2021 Cambodia DHS, (3) 2019-21 India DHS, (4) 2015-16 Myanmar DHS, and (5) 2015-16 South Africa DHS. I had specific questions about two surveys below.
•2015-16 South Africa DHS:
I was able to find the variables for sex of regular girlfriends/partners in the male file (sm401b), but do you know in which file I can find information on same-sex marriages?
I cannot find the file or variables for the following questions: "Are you currently married or living together with someone as if married?" If the respondent said yes, then "Is this person a woman or a man?"
•2019-2021 India DHS:
Just to confirm, the transgender category is only available in the HR file? I was not able to find it in the IR or MR files. Would you be able to share which file and variable allows me to review data on transgender populations?
