There is a quesetion about matching the GPS data set with the KR file. For example, for the GPS file AOGE71FL and the AOKR71FL file, when looking at the AOGE71FL file, it is found that there is a variable DHSYEAR, which is equal to 2015. However, the survey time of the research objects found in the AOKR71FL file is 2015 or 2016, so can I only match the research objects surveyed in 2015?

Thanks for your question. These survey datasets belong to the same survey - you can confirm this by going to the survey datasets page for this survey: https:// dhsprogram.com/data/dataset/Angola_Standard-DHS_2015.cfm?fla g=1. The GE file uses the shortened survey year, which is the principal year in which the survey was conducted.

You can also find more information on the survey year for any survey on The DHS Program API: https:// api.dhsprogram.com/rest/dhs/surveys?surveystatus=all&f=h tml. There is a SurveyYear field, as well as a SurveyYearLabel field. The SurveyYear provides the principal year in which the survey was conducted (which is what is in the GE file), and then the SurveyYearLabel field provides the range of years in which fieldwork took place.

So do you mean that in the corresponding GPS file and KR file, I can ignore the GPS DHSYEAR and match the research objects of 2015 and 2016
