The DHS Program, which manages registration and access for IPUMS DHS, is again reviewing new user applications and requests for expanded access from currently approved users.
Codes and Frequencies
Description
For women who were randomly selected and interviewed for the domestic violence module, DVOSON (D115E) indicates whether they had been physically hurt by their son since age 15.
For a variable that combines "daughter" and "son" responses for this series for some samples, see DVOCHILD (D115D).
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, DVOSON (D115E) is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DVOSON (D115E) is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire for any phase, but it is based on a question included in phase IV of the standard domestic violence module.
