ITN use by under five children
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=10684&th=5464#msg_10684
I am trying to come out with the proportion of under five that slept under net the previous night using the Burkina Faso 2010 DHS PR file. I am facing discordance with the final report number which is 14597 and i got 14001 as the number of under five children in the total househould to use as denominator.
I am really gratefull for any support to solve this issue. (I am using StATA software)
Best regards!]]>DHS_OM2016-08-29T21:28:52-00:00Re: ITN use by under five children

Have you applied the weights?

thanks for the response.
I applied the weight normally using the variable v005 over one million.

Did applying the weights work out for you or do you still need assistance?
Thanks!]]>Liz-DHS2016-09-08T14:04:14-00:00Re: ITN use by under five children

I am so sorry, I wanted to say that i am still facing the same issue (even if I apply the weight).
Sorry and many thanks for your support!]]>DHS_OM2016-09-08T14:17:11-00:00Re: ITN use by under five children

Dear Omill,
It sounds like the discrepancy may be arising from your choice of variable to specify the denominator. It is important to keep in mind that all of the bednet indicators are restricted to the de facto population (usual residents or visitors who spent the previous night in the household). Instead of number of under five children in the total household (maybe you are using hv014 for this?) you will need to specify the denominator using the variables that select de facto household residents (hv103) and age of household members (hml16). Please let me know if you continue to have difficulties and need further assistance.

Lot lot and lot of thanks,
I was using hv105 for the age of household members instead of hml16.
Everything is correct now.
All my best and kind regards!]]>DHS_OM2016-09-08T15:49:41-00:00
