Health practice table (SYNTHETIC)

SYNTHETIC: 1,500 invented mother-child records. Real DHS microdata may NOT be redistributed (DHS terms: no re-distribution "directly or within any tool/dashboard"; use limited to the registered purpose). That is why this table exists. A teacher or student who wants real DHS data must register at dhsprogram.com themselves.

Columns

record_id, ecological_belt, mother_age, wealth_quintile (1 poorest - 5 richest), antenatal_visits, institutional_delivery (0/1), birth_weight_kg.

Ethics

Relationships here were built in by the generator (wealth and visits raise delivery in a facility). Students should state that findings from a synthetic table say nothing about real women, and discuss why that matters.
