Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
To understand which women were included in the DV module in this survey, it will help to do the following: (1) open the HR or PR file and enter "tab hv044"; (2) open the IR file and enter "tab v044,m"; and (3) look at page 491 in the final report. You will then see that half of the households were randomly selected for the module, and within these households, one woman was randomly selected.
Applying the module to only half the households was done to reduce costs. Many, perhaps most, DHS surveys involve some subsampling for the optional modules in order to reduce fieldwork costs. The random selection of only one woman in the household is standard for the DV module. Among other considerations, it reduces the amount of time that is spent in each household.
