Changing prevalence and factors associated with Female Genital Mutilation in Ethiopia using EDHS
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=19310&th=8932#msg_19310
I am using the 2000, 2005 and 2016 Ethiopian DHS datasets (SPSS software package) for my registered project titled 'Changing prevalence and factors associated with Female Genital Mutilation in Ethiopia: data from the 2000, 2005 and 2016 National Demographic Health Surveys'. The three datasets from EDHS were weighted using standard methodology before the actual analysis; I created the weight variable 'WGT=V005/1000000' and then, I applied the weight (WGT) before running any tabulation. After applying sampling weight, I ran the frequency analysis for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and I found the same proportion with the final EDHS in 2000 (79.9%) and 2005 (74.3%) available on the DHS website. Although I used the same method to apply sample weights for each datasets, My finding for the proportion of FGM in the 2016 EDHS (70.4%) was different from that reported from the official final EDHS report which was 65%. I am having difficulties with the 2016 EDHS dataset with respect to matching the proportion of FGM (70.4%) with the final official EDHS report which is 65%. I would very much appreciate any help you can give us here

if (not sysmis(g100)) fgc = 0.
if (g102 = 1) fgc = 1.
then weight the data as you have for other surveys, and you should match the estimate in the report.]]>Trevor-DHS2020-06-06T04:49:57-00:00Re: Changing prevalence and factors associated with Female Genital Mutilation in Ethiopia using EDHS
