Dear User,

The Standard Questionnaires are used by countries as a template of sorts and customized by countries to create their own questionnaire adapted for their purposes.
The question you are referring to is AH12 from the Standard Questionnaire. It would normally be coded to HV130 if the question had been asked in the Ghana DHS 2008 questionnaire. It would have been recoded similarly to what is below in CSPro. The variable name would start with QH instead of AH (if in the household).

{ member has been very sick for 3+ months last year }
      if HV105(i) in 18:59 then
        HV130(i)  = YesNo( AH12 );
      endif;

However, the question was NOT asked in the Ghana DHS 2008 questionnaire and was therefore coded as N/A (not applicable).
If you have additional questions, please feel free to post again.

Thank you!
