HI,
I have the 2013-14 Malawi HIV/MCH SPA dataset, and am looking at variables related to the provision of FP.
I can replicate findings in Table 5.1 of the report, when the full sample of 977 facilities is used. Variables related to only facilities offering FP services (such as shown in Table 5.2 and 5.3.1, etc), show a sample size of 806. But the dataset is giving me a sample of 810. Can you tell me how the subsample of 806 was derived?
Thanks,
Janine

Dear User,
Here is a response from one of our experts, Dr. Ruilin Ren:
Quote:

The 806 facilities in table 5.2 are the number of facilities, among the total 977 facilities, which offer any FP services, as the table title tells. If you divide 806 by 977, you will get 82% (with rounding) of the facilities offering any FP services, as the last column of table 5.1 shows.

Thank you!
