Dear DHS-Team,
I would like to inquire about the current status of the updated Kenya DHS 2022 data. Over the past few months, there have been discussions regarding inconsistencies in the educational data, particularly with the variables V107 and V106.
In my analysis, I created a contingency table to compare V107 (highest year of education) and V106 (educational level) and noticed some discrepancies between the two variables. For example, there are cases where individuals with higher educational levels (V106 = 3) only have a few years of education recorded (V107 < 9). I'm a bit overwhelmed about how to proceed with these inconsistencies.
Have the corrected data been uploaded yet? I am working on an analysis examining the correlation between years of education and maternal child mortality, and I have noticed also some discrepancies between V107 (highest year of education) and V106 (educational level).
If the updated data are not yet available, could you please advise which of the two variables (V107 or V106) would be more appropriate for my analysis? I would greatly appreciate your insights on how best to handle these discrepancies to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Thank you for your support and for the great work you do!
Best regards,
|
