Codes and Frequencies
Description
ATEGRAIN24H (V472E) indicates whether the woman respondent ate food made from grain during the previous day, either at night or during the daytime.
In some surveys, consumption of other foods made from grains may be recorded by variables about specific types of foods, such as porridge, cereals, or sweets.
Comparability
Along with universe differences, ATEGRAIN24H (V472E) differs in question wording across samples, with some survey forms emphasizing the product made from grain (e.g., bread, noodles, porridge) and others listing the types of grains grown locally (e.g., maize, wheat, sorghum, millet). See below for details on individual countries and samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
ATEGRAIN24H (V472E) is included in Phase 5 of the standard DHS questionnaire. Because the grains mentioned on the survey forms are supposed to be "local grains," the content varies across surveys by definition.
