Dear DHS experts,

Final report of BDHS 1999/2000 has a chapter on "COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS" but the "Service Availability Raw" data for Bangladesh: Standard DHS, 1999-00 is missing in the download section. How can I get the "Service Availability Raw" data file for BDHS 1999/2000?

Thak you.

Moin

Following is a response from Senior DHS Data Processing Specialist, Keith Purvis:

The community characteristics can be found in the Bangladesh: MCH SPA, 1999 dataset: BDCO4R*.*.

Thank you Bridgette and Keith Purvis for the response.

But I have some more queries regarding this issue. I want to link the community characteristics with household data for my research purpose. In BDHS 1993/94, 1996/97, 2004, 2007, 2011, and 2014 the available "Service Availability Raw" datasets can be exactly matched by cluster number and linked with household level data. But, in case of BDHS 1999/2000 the community characteristics found in the "Bangladesh: MCH SPA, 1999 dataset: BDCO4R" do not matched and cannot be linked with household data set. There are more clusters available in SPA data-"BDCO4R" (cluster number variable name: "coclust") than Household level data-"BDHR41" (cluster number variable name: hv001).

So my question is how can I link community characteristics of "Bangladesh: MCH SPA, 1999 dataset: BDCO4R" with household level data of "Bangladesh: Standard DHS, 1999-00 dataset: BDHR41"?

Thank you.

You are welcome.

Following is another response from Senior DHS Data Processing Specialist, Keith Purvis:

There are 341 clusters in the BDHR41 data file. The cluster numbers are not consecutive (3-500) but the total number of clusters is 341 and it should be possible to link each cluster in the BDCO4R file with data in BDHR41.

Was this issue resolved? The DHS and SPA cluster numbers do not match (DHS is 3-500 and SPA is 6-999). Please advise on how to link the datasets.
