Hi,
I am working on Abortions using Indian DHS dataset. I am using IAIR.DTA file. I have three questions and your quick response is highly appreciated, as I am already running short of time.
1. I have prepared the event file and I am getting exactly the same figures for India and states as provided in table 6.16 and 6.15, but the number of pregnancies (as provided in table 6.15, page 180) are not matching. For instance, the number of pregnancies in my case is 286,791 but in the report it is 276,321.
Place of residence Live birth Abortion Miscarriage Still birth Number of pregnancies
urban 87.4 4.4 7.5 0.8 69,640
rural 90.5 2.6 6.0 1.0 2,17,151
Total 89.6 3.1 6.4 0.9 2,86,791
2. I am not able to calculate the third column of table 6.14, please let me know how you have calculated this. I am not sure whether you have taken all the terminations in the past five year or only the last termination as in table 6.15.
3. Why the number of pregnancies are different in the two tables (table 6.13 it is 300,185 and in table 6.15 it is 276,321).
Once again I would request you to please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks
Kirti
