Children's Data - Children's Recode (KR)
This dataset has one record for every child of interviewed women, born in the five years preceding the survey. It contains the information related to the child's pregnancy and postnatal care and immunization and health. The data for the mother of each of these children is included. This file is used to look at child health indicators such as immunization coverage, vitamin A supplementation, and recent occurrences of diarrhea, fever, and cough for young children and treatment of childhood diseases. The unit of analysis (case) in this file is the children of women born in the last 5 years (0-59 months).

Hi
I have a question about the KR file. Who are the children in the KR file? Are they all the children of the interviewed mothers (dead or alive)? Or are they all the children living in the house at the time of the interview? Do the file include only children under-5 or what is the age limit. I am trying to analyze the data with the under-5 child death as the outcome of interest, and not sure which file to use. The outcome of interest is "Any under-5 death in the family (irrespective of when it was occurred, and whether the child would be under-5 at the time of the survey if he/she would still be alive. Any advice or suggestion?
