The question associated with this variable was included in the service delivery point nutrition questionnaire.

Comparability

Nutrition facilities are designated by country-specific criteria. For Burkina Faso samples, a nutrition facility may be one of any type excluding health and social promotion centers and private hospitals/polyclincs/clinics. For Kenya samples, a nutrition facility may be one of any type excluding pharmacies and nursing/maternity homes.

There are slight differences in question wording. For 2017 samples, the question associated with this variable asks if weight measurement is used for "regular" growth monitoring. For 2018 samples, the question asks whether weight is a measure that staff take for growth monitoring.
