Dear Ms. Ortiz:

Thank you for your prompt answer. You know what they say: Don't demonstrate your competence or people will put you to work. So here's a few more questions I have about DHS datasets:

1) Two variables (V024 and V101) seem to contain the region of residence. What is the difference between them?

2) Two variables record time after birth breastfeeding was initiated: V426 and M34. This question asked ONLY about most recently born child. In the DHS 2011 Ethiopia child dataset, V426 has only 250 (3.0%) missing values. M34 has 4,114 (35.3%) missing values, which seems more likely given that children born less recently should have missing values. What is the difference between these two variables?

Thank you in advance for your help.
