1) What does a KR file refers to? In all the 3 countries below, I dont see any KR file download. There were only Household, Individual, HIV.
The KR file exists for the countries below - please check the respective dataset pages. The KR file is the Children's Data. This dataset has one record for every child of eligible women, born in the last five years. It contains the information related to the child's pregnancy and postnatal care and immunization and health. The data for the mother of each of these children is included. This file is used to look at child health indicators such as immunization coverage, vitamin A supplementation, and recent occurrences of diarrhea, fever, and cough for young children and treatment of childhood diseases. The unit of analysis (case) in this file is the children of women born in the last 5 years (0-59 months).
2) I downloaded IR dataset for Cambodia, PNG, and Philippines (STATA). However, within the zip file of each country, the variable code DOC file is not usually complete with each label definition. Some codes do not have a definition in the DOC. Is it possible for you to share the complete variable code DOC file for these 3 countries?
The .doc file contains useful information on country specific variables and differences in the Standard Recode definition. You will also need the DHS Recode Manual. The Recode Manual contains a general description of the recode data file, including the rationale for recoding; a description of coding standards and recode variables, and a listing of the standard dictionary, with basic information relating to each variable.
3) I could not find the original questionnaires for KHM, PNG, and PHL. I was not able to compare the variables with the model questionnaires on your website (I assume each country's questionnaire have been modified slightly). Could you possibly share the original questionnaires for these 3 countries?
The questionnaires are in the appendix of the final reports. Please search for the final reports at: http://www.dhsprogram.com/publications
4) For LOW BIRTHWEIGHT of the mother's child, will I be able to find it in KR or IR file? If yes, could you refer which variable code it's?
The child's birth weight (M19) is in both the KR and IR files.
