Hi
Thank you for your response. I am still struggling to understand why there are responses coded 2 and 0 for HV121 if the code 'currently in school' was not taken.
When I did a frequency table for HV121 of the 2013 Nigeria household DHS, there was data collected on this question. The only thing is it seems as if 'attended school for some time' was used as a proxy for 'currently attending school' and 'attended school at some time'. Moreover, on both the model questionnaire and the recode manual for phase 6, HV121 is supposed to be asked and there is a code for currently attending, did not attend, and attended at some time.
I can see that 1 is not coded for HV121, I am just struggling to understand why 2 and 3 (did not attend and attended at some time) are coded and recorded in the dataset if 1 (currently attending) was not asked/recorded in the dataset.
Please see my attachments for clarification. The frequency tables are for HV121$04 and HV121$05.
Also I do not understand how HV121 could be retained but the question was dropped?
Thanks again this is for work that is trying to be published so it is very important.
