Dear User Forum,

I am working with several colleagues on an analysis that utilizes the calendar from the Nigeria 2013 dataset. We are trying to determine the variable labels for column 1 of the vcal variable.

1. The labels listed in the questionnaire section of the Nigeria DHS 2013 final report (Appendix F, page 510) differ from the labels listed in the Recode 6 Manual (page 98). Should we be using the labels listed in the questionnaire section of the Nigeria DHS 2013 final report (and not the labels in the Recode 6 Manual)?

2. In the dataset, one of the codes for column 1 of the vcal variable is "W;" however, it is not clear what "W" stands for (there is no "W" code listed in Appendix F, page 510 of Nigeria final report). Can you please help us determine what "W" refers to in this dataset?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,

Carie
