Description

Definition
For female household members of childbearing age who were potential subjects for height, weight, and hemoglobin measurement, HWFUNDER18 (HA50) indicates whether they were under or over age 18 at the time of the interview.

The information in this variable was used by DHS personnel to determine whether a female household member needed consent from a parent/caretaker to conduct hemoglobin measurements.
