SAMPLESTR is a 5-character string variable.
Description
SAMPLESTR is a string variable that identifies the DHS sample from which the case is drawn. Each sample receives a unique 5-digit code. The first three digits are ISO/UN codes used in COUNTRY, and the last two digits identify the sample within the country, ordered by survey year.
The related variable SAMPLE is a numeric variable that identifies the DHS sample with the same 5-digit code.
Comparability
SAMPLESTR is added to the database during processing by IPUMS-DHS and has no comparability problems.
Comparability - Standard DHS
SAMPLESTR is an IPUMS-DHS-constructed variable not included in the original DHS data. The original DHS files use an alphabetic variable, V000, to identify the survey from which the data were collected.
