Notes

Preceding birth interval is calculated as the difference in months between the current birth and the previous birth, counting twins as one birth. In the DHS VII recode, B11 is also based on the CDC of date of birth of the children (B18). In previous recodes B11 was based on the CMC date of birth of the children (B3)
