Description

Definition
MAFEDORGAN24H (V414M) indicates whether the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child organ meat, such as liver, kidney, or heart during the previous day, either at night or during the daytime. This variable describes a characteristic of the mother rather than the child.

Although the question wording asks about foods given to a specific child during the previous day, responses relate to the mother, so all young children of the mother are coded the same way. If the mother reported she gave her youngest surviving child organ meat in the previous day, all of her young children in the data are coded as "yes," including any children who have died or who live elsewhere.

A positive response in MAFEDORGAN24H thus does not necessarily indicate whether a particular child of the mother ate organ meat during the previous day. IPUMS-DHS users should instead employ the variable FEDORGAN24H to determine whether the child ate organ meat during the previous day. See Comparability.

The related variable MAFEDORGAN24HX reports the number of times the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child organ meat during the previous 24 hours. MAFEDORGANWKD reports the number of days the child's mother gave her youngest surviving child organ meat during the past week.
