Comparability

In addition to universe differences, AIDSINFOWKR (V752E) varies across samples in question wording. Most commonly, this question is worded as "From which sources have you learned the most about AIDS? Any other sources?" or some slight variation [emphasis added]. A number of surveys simply ask "From which sources have you learned about AIDS? Any other sources?" or some slight variation.

While most surveys implicitly ask whether the woman has ever heard information about HIV/AIDS from a given source, a few samples specify a time frame. For example, a given sample might ask whether the woman has heard about HIV/AIDS in the last month.

IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Survey Text tab for samples of interest. Samples with additional comparability issues are noted below.

AIDSINFOWKR (V752E) is included in Phase III of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Comparability — Egypt [top]

The 2005 Egyptian survey has separate response categories for "home visit by health worker" and "facility-based health worker." IPUMS-DHS consolidates these two responses in AIDSINFOWKR to create a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability — Jordan [top]

The 2007 and 2012 Jordan questionnaire include separate response categories for "Home visit by health worker" and "Health facility staff." IPUMS-DHS consolidates these two responses in AIDSINFOWKR to create a more comprehensive response category.
