Dear all,
a follow-up to the discussion about missing data.
I am analysing 2008 Bolivian DHS and I am dealing with a large amount of missings for the variables antenatal care, tetanus toxoid injections, place of delivery and assistance during delivery, which are important covariates in my analysis that has neonatal death as outcome. About two thirds of the answers to those questions in the birth recode dataset were codede as ".", while very few observations were coded as 98 or 99.
Why would such information would be NOT APPLICABLE to children?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Filippo
