I found link "http://www.measuredhs.com/zip/mrspss.zip" and "http://www.measuredhs.com/zip/mrsas.zip" are not working. I got this message "The link or bookmark is no longer valid and may have been moved in the new website. Take a look at the new navigation or search the website using the search tool at the top right corner. If you still experience problems, please contact feedback@measuredhs.com." Will you please let me know where can i find these materials.

Dear User,
At this time we do not have STATA files to calculate Maternal Mortality for distribution. Please refer to The Guide to DHS Statistics http:// dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-dhsg1-dhs-questionna ires-and-manuals.cfm for a better understanding of many of our statistics. The section on ADULT AND MATERNAL MORTALITY begins on page 153 of the guide and is under the ADULT AND MATERNAL MORTALITY bookmark. This guide will

It will also

All our table for our final reports use CSPro. However, you can find useful STATA tutorials at http://www.cpc.unc.edu/research/tools/data_analysis/statatut orial
