Following is a response from DHS Senior Data Processing Specialist, Albert Themme:
As you already figured out the variables pertaining to never married women 15-24 years old are not recoded into the regular woman's recode, but are included in the "Special" Young adult data file (IDOD6*.*).
IDYA6C*.* CSPro Adolescent Reproductive Health Dataset - Household, Women & Men
IDYH6C*.* Exported Adolescent Reproductive Health Dataset - Household
IDYW6C*.* Exported Adolescent Reproductive Health Dataset - Women
IDYM6C*.* Exported Adolescent Reproductive Health Dataset - Men
As mentioned in IDOD6C.DOC found within the IDOD*.ZIP files(see above), this data file contains a household file, a men's file that retains the variable names as used in the "Never-Married men's questionnaire" (AY101H, AY101M, etc.) and a women's file where the variable names from the women's questionnaire have been recoded to match the men's file. E.g. AY201 = Q1301, AY202 = Q1302, AY204 = Q1304, AY205 = Q1305, etc. This way the files can be easily merged.
Hopefully, this clears the confusion.
