Abstract: IPUMS Demographic and Health Surveys (IPUMS DHS), through its intuitive website (http://dhs.ipums.org/), eliminate barriers to overtime and cross-national analyses with the DHS. IPUMS DHS recently released simplified reproductive calendar data. These calendar data are harmonized across samples, distinguish “not in universe” cases from “no” responses, and do not require destringing. Variable names are hot links to important documentation, such as survey-question text and comparability concerns. Analysts can also select consistently coded variables relating to the woman, her household, and her social and environmental context without merging files.
