Description

Definition
BRSFEDENDHOW_ALL indicates whether the respondent weaned her child from breastfeeding gradually or suddenly.

BRSFEDENDHOW_ALL consists of a set of up to six separate variables, covering the most recent birth (BRSFEDENDHOW_01) up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., BRSFEDENDHOW_02, BRSFEDENDHOW_03, BRSFEDENDHOW_04, BRSFEDENDHOW_05, and BRSFEDENDHOW_06) during the reference period prior to the survey. If BRSFEDENDHOW_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.

The information in BRSFEDENDHOW_ALL was collected for all births within the reference period preceding the survey. In many cases, data were hypothetically collected on up to six births, but no women in the survey had so many births (e.g., no woman had 4 or more births in 3 years, or had 5 or 6 births in 5 years). If, for example, no woman in a survey had 6 births in five years and only blank values were included in the original DHS file, then BRSFEDENDHOW_06 would not be available for that survey in IPUMS-DHS.

Some samples, specified in the Comparability section, collected this information for the most recent birth only (BRSFEDENDHOW_01).
