Comparability
In addition to universe differences, AIDSINFOPOSTER (V752D) varies across samples in question wording. Most commonly, this question is worded as "From which sources have you learned the most about AIDS? Any other sources?" or some slight variation [emphasis added]. A number of surveys simply ask "From which sources have you learned about AIDS? Any other sources?" or some slight variation.
While most surveys implicitly ask whether the woman has ever heard information about HIV/AIDS from a given source, a few samples specify a time frame. For example, a given sample might ask whether the woman has heard about HIV/AIDS in the last month.
IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Survey Text tab for samples of interest. Samples with additional comparability issues are noted below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
AIDSINFOPOSTER (V752D) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase III. In the standard DHS recode manual for Phase III, this variable is worded as "Sources of information from which the respondent has learned most about AIDS: Pamphlets or posters."
Comparability — Afghanistan [top]
The 2015 Afghanistan survey includes "Poster/billboard" as a response category.
Comparability — Chad [top]
The 1996 Chad survey includes "Leaflets/flyers" as a response category.
Comparability — Egypt [top]
The 2005 Egyptian survey has separate responses for "pamphlet/brochure" and "poster." To conform to the pattern in the standard recode manuals, IPUMS-DHS consolidates these two responses in AIDSINFOPOSTER as a more comprehensive response category.
Comparability — Jordan [top]
The 2007 and 2012 Jordan questionnaires include separate responses for "Pamphlet/brochure" and "Poster." To conform to the pattern in the standard recode manuals, IPUMS-DHS consolidates these two responses in AIDSINFOPOSTER as a more comprehensive response category.
Comparability — South Africa [top]
The 1998 South Africa survey includes "Pamphlets" as a response category.
