Hi,
I am working on child malnutrition and need a measure for stunting. I need clarification as to the differences between hc70_1/8 in the GHHR5AFL data file (i.e. the 2008 GDHS household dataset). Whereas the recode file describes only HC70, the actual data in stata shows hc70_1, hc70_2 ... to hc70_8. I would be glad if you could explain or describe why these are the case. Thank you.
