Glucose testing consent [message #16589]

I am currently using the data retrieved from the DHS website for my study. I am applying a multilevel model to the data . I am using individuals s my 1st level, households as 2nd level and am hoping to use districts as my third level. Is there any way I can access information that is captured for districts?

I am focusing my research to the state of Kerala. I have seen that consent for glucose testing (variable shb20) is missing for around 32,000 observations. This variable has been left as missing ( not refused/not granted). Variables pertaining to height, weight, Haemoglobin, SBP and DBP are also missing for these 32,000 observations.

Was consent asked for all individuals in the dataset? If no, is there a way to identify how these individuals were identified as eligible to ask for consent? Can I assume that data is missing, i.e. consent was asked but not recorded for these individuals?

Please advise on how to proceed. Hope to hear from you soon.
