Comparability
Along with universe differences, PREVRESTYP (V105) varies across samples in the degree of detail. IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding to maximize comparability, with the categories "city," "capital, large city," and "[other] city" sharing a common first digit of 1 while differing in the second digit of the code. Similarly, various responses falling into the "Town or countryside" rubric share a first digit of "2." The broad response category "Other" with a first digit of "3" and "Abroad" with a first digit of "4" includes detailed responses not present in all samples.
Only those countries with additional comparability issues for this variable are discussed below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
PREVRESTYP (V105) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phases I through V and in Phase VII. The Recode Manuals for Phase 2 forward note, "In some countries, additional codes are used for capital/major cities (code 0) and for abroad (code 4)."
Comparability — India [top]
The 1998 sample for India includes cases only in the broad categories of "city" and "countryside." The 2005 Indian sample adds the intermediate category of "town." Based on the frequency distributions, the "town" category consists largely of cases previously classified as "countryside" but also includes some cases previously classified as "city."
Comparability — Sao Tome [top]
The 2008 Sao Tome and Principe sample asks about type of place where the female respondent lived at 12 year old.
Comparability — South Africa [top]
The 2016 South African sample includes the specific response categories "tribal area" and "informal settlement," but the number of cases with these responses is small.
Comparability — Togo [top]
The 1988 Togo sample includes specific responses with the "abroad" category, specifying if an individual who lived abroad was living in the capital city, other city or countryside.
