Hello

I'd appreciate any help in explaining the large number of NA/missing values for v781 (ever-testing) in Ethiopia 2005 women's recode. The documentation says that v781 was created as a combination of S910J (Test as part of antenatal care), S910M(Test since test during pregnancy) and ever tested. However I am unable to find the latter "ever tested" variable in the dataset. The only one is v781 and that too with lots of missing values.
My hunch is that v781 currently represents ever tested among women who had delivered after 'MESKEREM 1995'. Other women should have been asked about ever testing Q910O but this data are not represented. I was wondering if this is the case?

Thank you so much in advance.

Salome
