Quick follow up on IPUMS DHS. If you use this website to download the data, you can instantly see (by clicking on a variable name) how the variable was constructed, how many missing cases it has, the survey text used to generate it, and more.

I find it easiest to select my samples of interest (Select Samples button) before browsing the variables because there are so many countries included in IPUMS DHS now.

To create a data file, you add samples and variables to your "Data Cart." When you want to download your data, click on "View Cart," and follow the instructions. Be sure to click "Change" to select the data format that works best for you.

Hope you find this helpful!
