Hello Everyone,

I am working with the DRC DHS 2013-2014. The final report (https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR300/FR300.pdf) mentioned

9030 children that have valid age, weight and height.

However,

1. When I considered the Child dataset and HW2 (weight) and HW3 (height) and removed the values (9994, 9995, 9996 and 9999 and the blank values) I found:

8397 children

2. In addition, when I considered B10 (Completeness of information for Child age) and selected only for B10=1 (Month and year - information complete), I found

8388 children

I am wondering if there are not other variables to be considered for valid age, height and weight. Could someone guide on the best way to handle this.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Antoine
