Description
Definition
MAFEDTUBERWKD (V470R) reports how many days, out of the past seven days, the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child white potatoes, white yams, manioc, cassava, or any other food made from roots. This variable describes a characteristic of the mother rather than the child.
Although the question wording asks about foods given to a specific child during the previous week, responses relate to the mother, so all young children of the mother are coded the same way. If the mother reported she gave her youngest surviving child white potatoes, white yams, manioc, cassava, or any other food made from roots in the previous week, all of her young children in the data are coded as "yes" (codes "1" through "7"), including any children who have died or who live elsewhere.
A positive response in MAFEDTUBERWKD thus does not necessarily indicate whether a particular child of the mother ate white potatoes, white yams, manioc, cassava, or any other food made from roots during the previous week. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ the variable FEDTUBERWKD (M37R) to determine how many days the child ate white potatoes, white yams, manioc, cassava, or any other food made from roots during the previous week. See Comparability.
The related variable MAFEDTUBER24H (V414F) indicates whether the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child white potatoes, white yams, manioc, cassava, or any other food made from roots during the previous 24 hours. MAFEDTUBER24HX (V469R) reports the number of times the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child white potatoes, white yams, manioc, cassava, or any other food made from roots during the previous 24 hours.
