Dear User,
Thank you for your input. If you look at the map file distributed with the data, you will find the value labels for all the variables related to your particular data set. Please see a small screenshot for HV121 coming from the map file called NGIR6A.MAP
HV121                  Member attended school during current school ye   46    1    N    I    1    0   No   No
                               0  No
                               1  Currently attending
                               2  Attended at some time

                          (na)    Not applicable

The map file is the recode guide to your particular data set. I find it useful to look at this file as well ad Standard Recode Manual (which provides useful information about the recoding process) http:// www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG4/Recode6_DHS_22March2013_DH SG4.pdf also useful is The Guide to DHS Statistics http:// dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-dhsg1-dhs-questionna ires-and-manuals.cfm There are also several links on our website regarding the use of the data, including some videos. Start here: http://www.dhsprogram.com/data/Using-Datasets-for-Analysis.cfm. If you have additional questions, please feel free to post again. Thank you!
