In Gabon 2019 - 2021 is s231a for the last 5 years or lifetime? Also, was there a filter question before this item? The sample size drops for this item. Thank you !

Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
I suggest that you open the IR file and paste the following lines into Stata:
tab s231 v228,m
tab1 s231 s232*
foreach ll in a b c {
replace s232`ll'=. if s232`ll'==99
}
regress s231 s232* if s231>0, nocons
These lines will show you that all of these variables are lifetime and that s231 is simply the sum of s232a,b,c.
I don't know the history of this survey, but it appears that the calendar data were discarded. If you enter "lookfor calendar" you will find that the vcal_* variables that would normally appear in the IR file are empty. Unfortunately, the terminations reported with s232a,b,c do not have dates. I see no way to calculate how many occurred in an interval of time, such as the past 5 years.
