Codes and Frequencies
Description
FCDCIRC_ALL (G121_x) indicates whether the respondent's daughter (FCDINDEX_ALL) has been circumcised.
FCDCIRC_ALL consists of a set of up to eight separate variables, covering the respondent's youngest daughter (FCDCIRC_01) up to her oldest daughter in the age range for the female circumcision variables (FCDCIRC_08). IF FCDCIRC_ALL is included in a data extract, all of these variables are included in a researcher's data file.

Comparability — Benin [top]
The Benin 2011 survey contains a few cases outside of the expected age range, which may reflect either interview or data entry errors. These cases are not consistent and don't constitute a change in universe. To be consistent across surveys, users may want to filter out these cases or label them as missing.
