Metadata version

DDI Document version

Version 01 (August 2018)

This version is identical to IPUMS DDI: TZA_2015_DHS_v01_M_5_A_IPUMS, except for the following fields that were edited by World Bank: Title, DDI ID and Study ID - adaptation version number changed to v01 as this is the initial DHS-IPUMS adaptation in World Bank catalog.

Version 5 April 2018. Documentation of Demographic Household Survey data and harmonized variables as found in IPUMS-DHS. IPUMS has distribution rights to the metadata and data. The XML documents generated by this process are viewed as a distribution of the metadata.

Fields edited for the World Bank are: DDI ID and study ID to match World Bank study naming convention, as well as DDI Document Version and Version Description to reflect changed included in version 5. Variable ID's and names were changed to add the prefix W, C, B, or M to indicate file source as Woman, Child, Birth or Household Member respectively. This was done to create unique variable IDs and names within the file. These prefixes are not found in the IPUMS-DHS system.

Original extract version date 2018-07-27. DDI metadata revised to add stdyDscr/notes and correct assignment of variables to record types. All non-ANSI_Latin characters have been replaced.
