Hi!

I'm trying to understand with the different final reports which is the interviewed population for the questions regarding a postnatal check up for mothers and children. I can show you some examples: the final reports of Burundi 2010, Cameroon 2011 and Comoros 2012 say that these questions where asked to those women that had their last child in the last 2 years (instead of the last 5 years). When I analyze the datasets I find in the three cases that for the variable "respondent's check up after delivery" (m50_1) and "baby postnatal check within 2 months" (m70_1) the base populations are not composed by the last births in the two previous years to the interview. For m50_1, all women that had a child in the previous 5 years answered the question, and for m70_1, all three datasets show different populations.

How can I know which is the exact group of women selected to answer these questions?

Thank you very much,

Clara
