Comparability — Index
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight variation in question wording, VITA6MOKID (H34) is largely comparable across samples. In MOST surveys, the interviewer showed some common types of vitamin A ampules, capsules, or syrups to the respondent. See the Survey Text tab for exact question wording.
Some samples, noted below, differentiate between the types of vitamin A capsules received. To accommodate this variation, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding. All "yes" responses share a first digit code of "1"; the second digit distinguishes the type of vitamin A capsule, with "yes, received red capsule" (coded 11) and "yes, received blue capsule" (coded 12).
