Most IPUMS data transformations are performed using variable harmonization tables that specify how each value in the source data is recoded. Some variables also require programming logic in addition to the harmonization table. The harmonization documents for this variable are:
- Harmonization table
- No supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents

Comparability — General
The units in DHS_IPUMSI_JO are harmonized across DHS and IPUMS-International samples to account for changing boundaries in the major administrative level of geography. The time span for DHS samples are 1990 to 2017 and corresponds to the census sample from 2004 in IPUMS-International.
DHS_IPUMSI_ JO does not include the 1997 and 2002 DHS samples because the two samples provide very broad boundaries that are different from the most recent DHS sample years (2007, 2009, 2012, and 2017) and from the 1990 DHS sample.
