Hi,

Just to add to this it appears that Indonesia 2007 has the same issue. The question appears in the survey documentation in the appendix (2. KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE ABOUT HUMAN REPRODUCTION SYSTEM Q205 How old were you when you had your first menstruation?), but the variable is not in any of the data files.

Could I be right in thinking that the menarche question only appears in the "Special" dataset for 2012 and 2007 and not in the Standard DHS datasets for the same years? I have already found the menarche variable in the 2012 Special dataset so I am thinking this might be the case.

Thanks,

Laura
