All the variables in the recode datasets (HR IR MR BR PR KR CR) are described in the official Recode Manual.

The core questionnaires in DHS surveys are: the Household, Women's and Men's. These are recoded for the sake of consistency and comparability across surveys. The Individual Women's and Men's Recode files are initially created using a hierarchical model and later exported to SPSS, SAS and Stata datasets for the different analytical units of: household information, household member's information, women's information, children's information (of the interviewed women), and men's information. Further the children's information exists in two groups basic data for all children of a woman, and more in depth information for children born in the last five years. And then, were possible, individual men and women are matched into couples.
