Hello,

First let me start by stating that I am by no means a STATA/statistical software person, and definitely in over my head on this task but it needs to get done. Thus, I apologize for the extremely detailed question/post.

I am attempting the following:
1) Isolate variables on a specific age group(s): 15-19yrs, 15-24yrs, 20-24yrs from the 2010 DHS Malawi STATA dataset.
2) For each age group, I would like a breakdown of:
- Female and Male
- Region of residence
- Wealth quintile
3) I would then want the categories above (#2) to go with the following variables by percent:
- Education (ie. secondary school progression rate, highest grade completed)
- Literacy (ie. Percent literate)
- Employment (ie. Percent employed in last 12 months, Percent in agriculture, control cash earnings)
- Fertility (ie. Percent married, percent married by 18yrs, percent of first birth by 18yrs, Exposed to family planning messages in media, method of contraception)
- AIDS/STI (ie. Percent who had STI in last 12 months)
- Domestic Violence (ie. Percent who experience phys violence since age 15yrs, ever experienced sexual violence)
- Health Behaviors (ie. Percent who use tobacco)

Using Fertility as an example: Among 15-19yrs olds, what percent of female 915-19yrs) are married? What percent of males (15-19 yrs) are married? What is the difference (if any) among wealth quintiles (each for females and males)? What difference (if any) among regions of residence (norther, central, southern)(each for females and males).

I am working with STATA-IC and understand that I need to "extract" the variables because the dataset is too large, then merge them to create one dataset with my select variables.

Please help!!

Thank you in advance.
