In the dataset variable V131 there are over 60 ethnic groups. These are grouped together in the DHS report into 5 main groups (Akan, Krou, Mande du Nord, Mande du Sud, Voltaique due Sud and Autre).

I would like to know how this grouping is done so that I can do the same with the dataset I am using.

I'd be very grateful if someone could give me this information.

Many thanks

Janet

Following is a response from the Chief of Data Processing, Guillermo Rojas:

This is how ethnicity was presented in Ivory Coast

{ ethnicity }
box MV131 => v131w;
101-111,114,122-126,144,150,154,169 => 1;
112,115,119,130-132,134,136,139,141,142,145,153,155,159,166, 167 => 2;
113,120,127,129,135,138,143,148,149,156,157,160 => 3;
128,133,151,158,165,168 => 4;
116-118,121,137,140,146,147,152,161-164 => 5;

Dear Bridgette-DHS
It seems to be different for the 1994 DHS surveys. The codes vary from 2 to 98.
Could you please assist me with the grouping for the variable V131 in the 1994 Cote d'ivoire DHS survey?
Thank you in advance.
Didier

In Cote d'Ivoire 1994, we did not run tables on ethnicity. However, the original ethnicity codes for the 1994 survey are listed at the end of the country specific documentation (CIIR35.DOC).
