Description
For women aged 10-49 who live in a household with an infant under age 2, who have given birth more than once, who have given birth in the last 5 years, and who have birthed at least one set of twins beyond her most recent birth, OTKTW1ALIVE reports whether every one of her first-born twins from all sets of older twins is currently alive. This variable excludes first-born twins if they were born during the woman's most recent birth (see LASTTW1ALIVE), all second-born twins from each set of twins (see LASTTW2ALIVE and OTKTW2ALIVE), and all children from single-births (see LASTBIRTHALIVE and OTKSINGALIVE).
Although the universe for this variable includes only women who gave birth within 5 years, users should note that this variable indicates whether all of the woman's older first-born twins are alive (including those born more than 5 years ago). This variable was constructed after the woman provided the birthdate (see OTKBIRTHMO and OTKBIRTHYR) for each of her older children in sequence, beginning with the youngest child born after her most recent birth. For each child, the woman was asked whether the child was born as part of a twin birth (see OTKTWINS), and then whether they were still alive. OTKTW1ALIVE indicates whether the woman completed this sequence of questions for each of her older children without reporting that one of her first-born twins had died.
The sequence of questions associated with this variable were included in the female nutrition questionnaire.
