GENERAL

Comparability

Along with universe differences and slight differences in question wording, HEALTHCARDKID (H1) differs in the number of response categories.

IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding to maximize comparability. "No card" responses have a first digit of "1" (with "11" indicating "No longer has card"); "Yes, currently has card" responses have a first digit of "2," with the second digit distinguishing between cards seen (code "21") and not seen (code "22").

Comparability - Standard DHS

HEALTHCARDKID (H1) is included in all phases of the standard DHS questionnaire.

In Phase I, the standard questionnaire asks, "Do you have a health card for (NAME)? IF YES: May I see it please?"

In Phases II through VI, the standard questionnaires ask, "Do you have a health card where (NAME)'s vaccinations are written down? IF YES: May I see it please?" This is followed by, "Did you ever have a vaccination card for (NAME)?"

In Phase VII, the standard questionnaire asks, "Do you have a card or other document [emphasis added] where (NAME)'s vaccinations are written down? IF YES: May I see it please? Did you ever have a vaccination card for (NAME)?"
