Greetings!
I am using DHS data (2010-2014) from Malawi, Namibia,
Zambia, and Zimbabwe on the two common empowerment indexes:
Decision-making and Attitutes towards wife beating and am
linking this data to HIV test results.
I use SAS and the response valued in the questionnaires
for decision-making (1,2,3, 4, 6, 9) don't match the data I have in SAS.
In fact, one of the response values includes "5".
I haven't found this answer on the forum yet.
Can someone assist so I can make sure I interpret the values correctly?

Dear User,
The variables V743A through V743E are the variables on decision making. In Malawi DHS 2015-16 We are dealing with Q921, Q922, Q923, Q924. The responses in these variables are recoded in the recode variable where 2 is now 4, 3 is now 2, 4 is now 5. Here is a little bit of CSPro code to clarify this point.
{ Final say on making large household purchases }
box Q923 => V743B;
1 => 1; { 1 Respondent }
2 => 4; { 2 Husband, partner }
3 => 2; { 3 Respondent & husband, partner jointly }
4 => 5; { 4 Someone else }
{ 5 => 3; !! 5 Respondent & someone else jointly }
6 => 6; { 6 Other }
=> Q923;
endbox;
Hope this helps.
