Comparability
Along with universe differences and slight variation in question wording, BHCDKPLACE (V467A) differs across samples in the number of response categories. Some samples include only two response categories: 1) Not a big problem versus 2) A big problem. Other samples include three responses, distinguishing between "no problem," "small problem," and "big problem."
To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding, with "Not a big problem" responses having a first digit of "1" and "Big Problem" having a first digit of "2." The second digit distinguishes between "No problem" (code "11") and "Small problem" (code "12"), when this additional information is available.
Comparability - Standard DHS
BHCDKPLACE is included in Phase IV of the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Bangladesh [top]
The 2000 Bangladesh survey asks about barriers to getting medical care for herself during pregnancy and childbirth.
Comparability — Ethiopia [top]
While most surveys asked about hypothetical factors that might be a problem if the woman wanted medical treatment when sick, the 2000 Ethiopian survey asked about a concrete instance--"the last time you were sick"--and, for those women who did not seek treatment, asked an open-ended question about their reason(s) for not seeking treatment.
