households selected for anemia testing (V042 = 1).

Others

Notes

Anemia testing: Agrees to referral. In case where the anemia level is severe, respondents are asked whether this information can be given to a doctor at a specified health facility for follow up. This question is no longer part of the DHS VII core questionnaire, but the variable is kept in the DHS VII recode.
