Description

GEO_TD1996 (V023_TD1996) reports the region of Chad where the respondent was interviewed. DHS regions in the 1996 Chad survey are non-mappable.

Other sample years have their own sample-specific geography variables. Regions are also available in the variable GEOALT_TD1996 (V101_TD1996).
There is also an integrated variable, GEO_TD2004_2014, that provides spatially consistent units over time. Note that the 1996 Chad survey is not included in GEO_TD2004_2014.

GEO_TD1996 is non-mappable, and no GIS files are associated with it.

Comparability

Note that the survey is only representative at the level represented in GEO_TD1996. This sample identifies only three regions - the capital city, other urban areas, and rural areas.

Comparability - Standard DHS

GEO_TD1996, like other V101 variables, is a geographic variable added during processing of the DHS data. V101 is included in all Phases of the DHS.
