To match the number of women for the domestic violence module, use the following to initialize your sexualviolence or physicalviolence variables:
replace sexualviolence = 0 if v044==1
However, you have many other problems in your code:
1) You only ever assign values 0 or 1 to sexual violence, but you label values 2, 3, and 4 as well.
2) The label value statement should be as follows - you had the label and the variable names reversed:
label value sexualviolence sexual_violence
replace physicalviolence = 0 if d105a - d105f == 0 | d105j == 0
gen physicalviolence = .
foreach dvar of var d105a d105b d105c d105d d105e d105f d105j {
replace physicalviolence = 0 if `dvar' == 0
}
Here is my best guess at the coding:
* GENERATING THE VARIABLE 'sexualviolence'
gen sexualviolence = 0 if v044==1
foreach dval in 1 2 4 3 {
foreach dvar of var d105h d105i d105k {
replace sexualviolence = `dval' if sexualviolence == 0 & `dvar' == `dval'
}
}
replace sexualviolence = 1 if sexualviolence == 0 & d130b == 1
replace sexualviolence = 3 if sexualviolence == 0 & d130b == 2
replace sexualviolence = 4 if sexualviolence == 0 & (d130b == 3 | d130b == 4)
replace sexualviolence = 2 if sexualviolence == 0 & d124 == 1
replace sexualviolence = 3 if sexualviolence == 0 & d125 == 1
label variable sexualviolence "EVER EXPERIENCED SEXUAL VIOLENCE"
label define sexual_violence 0 "Never" 1 "Often" 2 "Sometimes" ///
3 "Yes, but not in the last 12 months" 4 "Yes, but frequency in last 12 months missing" ///
5 "Yes, but no information when"
label value sexualviolence sexual_violence
tab sexualviolence [iweight=d005/1000000]
*GENERATE VARIABLE "physicalviolence"
gen physicalviolence = 0 if v044==1
foreach dval in 1 2 4 3 {
foreach dvar of var d105a d105b d105c d105d d105e d105f d105j d117a {
replace physicalviolence = `dval' if physicalviolence == 0 & `dvar' == `dval'
}
}
replace physicalviolence = 1 if physicalviolence == 0 & d130a == 1
replace physicalviolence = 3 if physicalviolence == 0 & d130a == 2
replace physicalviolence = 4 if physicalviolence == 0 & (d130a == 3 | d130a == 4)
replace physicalviolence = 4 if physicalviolence == 0 & d115y == 0
replace physicalviolence = 5 if physicalviolence == 0 & d118y == 0
label define physical_violence 0 "Never" 1 "Often" 2 "Sometimes" ///
3 "Yes, but not in the last 12 months" 4 "Yes, but frequency in last 12 months missing" ///
5 "Yes, but no information when"
label value physicalviolence physical_violence
tab physicalviolence [iweight=d005/1000000]
