Comparability
Along with universe differences, the brands listed in CONLBRANDMN (MV762A) vary across samples.
To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding, with the first digit indicating the following major categories:
- 0: No brand
- 100: Social marketing brand
- 200: Public sector brand
- 300: Private sector brand
The second and third digits of CONLBRANDMN's codes distinguish between specific brands in these categories and provide detail present in only some samples.
