Comparability with IPUMS-DHS
The IPUMS-PMA variable RELIGION is somewhat similar to the RELIGION variable in IPUMS-DHS. However, the RELIGION variable in IPUMS-DHS has many more categories and different codes, and this information was usually collected for additional household members (e.g., women of childbearing age), not just for the household head.
