Comparability — Bangladesh [top]
The 2007, 2011, 2014, and 2018 Bangladesh surveys include "Mustard oil with garlic" as a response category. The 2011 Bangladesh survey also includes "Mustard oil" as a write-in response category. To maximize comparability, these two responses are consolidated in DELUMBTRMUST_01 in IPUMS DHS.
