Hi,

I am fairly new to DHS data. I have two questions pertaining to the data set and variables.

1. Is there anyway we can match the variables to the questionnaires. I know that the country-specific variables correspond to the actual question number in the country questionnaire. Can we do the same for other variables? I am using the recode manual and mapping which is extremely helpful.
2. I need some more information on the KR file. Is this file only maintains record of children born in last five years of only eligible (interviewed) women with each row in the stata file representing a child's information with his/her mother's information attached to it?

I will really appreciate your clarifications.

Thanks
Bibhu
