Dear DHS Data Archive Team,
Good day.
I am currently conducting an academic research study using the 2022 Philippines National Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS) under my approved access to the survey microdata.
While reviewing the data, I found that the standard Children's Recode (PHKR82FL) contains the anthropometric variables HW70HW73, but these variables are not populated in the distributed file available to me. However, the World Bank Microdata Library metadata for the 2022 PDHS lists a separate REC44.dta Child's Height and Weight file containing 8,296 cases and 23 variables, including height, weight, HAZ, WAZ, WHZ, and BMI-for-age.
To ensure that my research uses the appropriate source files and to avoid making assumptions about missing data, I would like to request access to the following component-level files, if they are available under my existing approved access:
Child-related files
REC41.dta
REC42.dta
REC43.dta
REC4A.dta
REC44.dta
REC45.dta
Mother/Individual and reproductive-related files
REC01.dta
REC11.dta
REC21.dta
REC22.dta
REC23.dta
Household-related files
RECH0.dta
RECH1.dta
RECH2.dta
RECH3.dta
RECH4.dta
The primary file I am seeking is REC44.dta, as my research focuses on identifying children under five at risk of malnutrition using anthropometric outcomes such as height-for-age (HAZ), weight-for-age (WAZ), and weight-for-height (WHZ). The additional component files would help ensure that household, maternal, pregnancy, and child-related predictors are appropriately identified and linked.
Could you please advise whether these component-level files are available for download and, if so, how I may obtain them using my existing approved access?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
