Hi All,

I am using Timor-Leste DHS 2016 to study health screening such as blood pressure

For question item (S1201) in section 12: Non-communicable disease, "Have you ever had your blood pressure measured by a doctor or other health worker?", does it include blood pressure measured during ANY pregnancy period?

I notice something strange when I map it with M24C_1, "As part of your antenatal care during this pregnancy, were any of the following
done at least once: Was your blood pressure measured?".

Some respondents answered "YES" for M24C_1 but "NO" for S1201. There are also cases with "NO" in S1201 but "missing" in M24C_1.
/index.php?t=getfile&id=1487&private=0

I can't find the country-specific recode manual and I can't find the description of S1201 in the standard recode manual.

Does anyone know where can I obtain the country-specific recode manual?
And, why the data does not match between S1201 and M24C_1?

Thank you.
