Good morning sirs,

I was wondering whether there is the chance to get data on age at menarche for Uganda in 2011. I was able to find this variable only in UDHS 2001.

Thank you in advance and best regards

Cristina

Dear User,
In reviewing our forum posts, we came across yours from December 2013. First, I would like to apologize for letting this one fall through the cracks. Here is a response to your query about age at menarche for the Uganda DHS 2011.

In the 2001 Uganda DHS, Question Q236A in the questionnaire "How old were you at the time you experienced your first menstruation?" was a country specific question. They did not ask this question in the Uganda DHS 2011 and the question is not a standard question in our model questionnaires on our website. In order to get that data, they needed to ask the question in Uganda DHS 2011 and they did not.

To access our Standard Questionnaires on our website, please click here http://www.measuredhs.com/publications/publication-dhsq6-dhs -questionnaires-and-manuals.cfm

Thank you!
