The Philippines DHS 2003 cancer screening questions (Section B of the Health Module). However, searching by survey characteristics (breast cancer screening and cervical cancer screening) produced only the Philippines DHS 2013. Does this mean that the Philippines DHS 2003 dataset will not include data on breast and cervical cancer screening or anything else that may not be listed in the survey characteristics ( https://dhsprogram.com/What-We-Do/survey-search.cfm?pgtype=c har#)? Thank you for your help.
