Hi,

I want to estimate the total demand for family planning and the percentage of demand satisfied from Bangladesh DHS 1993-94, 1995-96, 1999-2000, and 2004 in STATA.

But, I couldn't estimate it. It seems that the estimation procedures of those variables for recent BDHS (2014,2011,2007) are different from BDHS 1993-2004.

Can anyone kindly help me in this regards?

Thank you.
Regards,
Zobi

Following is a response from DHS Stata Specialist, Shireen Assaf:

Dear Zobi,

Please refer to the following link on our DHS website: http://dhsprogram.com/topics/unmet-need.cfm

There is a revised definition of unmet need. At the end of the link you will find Stata code that will be able to give you the revised estimates for unmet need for older surveys. In the new datasets the variable is v626a.

Please also refer to the following analytical study: https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/AS25/AS25%5B12June2012%5D.pd f

Thank you.
