For some samples, noted below, the survey included information specifying whether the message was heard on the radio, on television, or both. To accommodate this detail, IPUMS DHS uses composite coding. All "yes" responses share a first digit code of "1"; the second digit distinguishes between whether the message was heard on television (coded "11"), on the radio (coded "12"), or on both television and radio (coded "13").
