Hello,

I have found it difficult to access the 1990 DHS data set, especially the Household Roster for the DHS 1990, in Nigeria. Please I would appreciate any ideas on how to access this information.

Thank you.

Dear User,
The Household Schedule (Roster) is in RECH1. In the data starts at location 127. Take a look at your map file and search for RECH1.
Thank you!

FYI, all the Nigerian DHS surveys are also available through IPUMS-DHS, for women, children, births, and household members. I'm not sure if you mean the household member file when you say "the household roster." While not all variables from the original DHS files are included, many thousands of integrated variables are part of IPUMS-DHS now, including nearly all standard variables and many country-specific variables.
