Hello,
I am analysing Senegal data to look at birth attendants. There's a couple of surveys where I would appreciate some clarification, to ensure I'm correctly assigning the dataset variables to questionnaire response options.
- In 1986, please could you confirm whether "matrone" in the questionnaire corresponds to "birth attendant" in the dataset (category under variable m3_*)?
- In 1992, the questionnaire lists "matrone" as a response option, but it does not appear in the dataset. However, there is one variable (m3h_*) labelled "relative", although there is no such response option in the questionnaire. Please could you confirm which variable corresponds to "matrone", and what the "relative" variable corresponds to?
- In 2005, it seems like there is one more variable in the dataset than response option in the questionnaire. I think this is how the categories might align:
Doctor: m3a_*
Midwife/Nurse: m3b_* (two response options in questionnaire)
Matrone: m3c_* (labelled "auxiliary midwife")
TBA: m3g_*
Friend/relative: m3h_*
Other: m3i_ OR m3k_*?
No one: m3n_*
Please could you confirm that m3c_* does correspond to the "matrone" response option? And please could you clarify what the two "Other" variables correspond to?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
