Good evening.
Relating to the topic "Barriers to the utilization of malaria preventive measures among pregnant women in rural Nigeria". I reviewed the PDF Malaria Indicator Survey (2010) summary as well as the datasets. While trying to match the variables in the dataset against the questions in the 2010 MIS pdf summary report, the numbers do not match. For instance, for the "Traditional birth attendant" variable, the question numbers are 226b and 304; however, the attrib numbers in the dataset are M2G_1 format = F00073 Traditional birth attendant (1)
M2G_2 format = F00073 Traditional birth attendant (2)
M2G_3 format = F00073 Traditional birth attendant (3)
M2G_4 format = F00073 Traditional birth attendant (4)
M2G_5 format = F00073 Traditional birth attendant (5)
M2G_6 format = F00073 Traditional birth attendant (6)

Why is the variable separated into 6 parts especially since it is only related to one question?
Are there other questions related to this variable?
Is there a reason why the dataset attrib numbers and question numbers don't match?
Please advice. Thank you.
