"How Accurately Do Mothers Recall Prenatal Visits and Gestational Age? A Validation of Uruguayan Survey Data"


a) There are three databases needed for estimations in this paper: 

1.  Survey on Nutrition, Child Development and Health (Encuesta de Nutrición, Desarrollo Infantil y Salud, ENDIS) 2013 merged with Vital Statistics (Certificado de Nacido Vivo, CNV) records

Our main data source is ENDIS casewise linked with CNV microdata.

The linking process was carried out by the National Statistics Institute (INE) using the unique personal identification number (cedula de identidad)
of survey respondents and children

Original ENDIS 2013  micro-data and the corresponding metadata can be downloaded from http://www.ine.gub.uy/endis  (last access: 8 October, 2020)
Complete Vital Statistics micro-data can be downloaded from http://estadisticas.msp.gub.uy/index.php/catalog/20   (last access: 8 October, 2020)

2. 2012 and 2013 Official household surveys (Encuesta continua de Hogares, ECH)

ECH are continuous household suveys that collect a wide range of information on household demographic and socio-economic characteristics. 

These surveys are needed  for birth order identification and can be directly merged to ENDIS. We include two separate files that can also
 be downloaded from http://ine.gub.uy/web/guest/encuesta-continua-de-hogares1 (last access: 8 October, 2020)
