Hello,

I am using STATA 11.2 and I am having difficulty generating the same (DHS Malawi 2010) percents/figures for:

1) Women ages 20-24 yrs who married by age 18
2) Women ages 20-24 yrs who gave birth (first birth) by age 18

Below are the STATA codes I used for "Married by age 18," which I will then replicate for "Women ages 20-24 yrs who gave birth by age 18." I then plan to crosstab by wealth, residence (urban/rural), and region. Can someone please assist and tell me the correct code(s)/approach to produce the same figures?

STATA CODE:
use v005 v012 v013 v021 v022 v023 v024 v025 v044 v101 v102 v106 v149 v155
v190 v201 v212 v313 v384a v384b v384c v463z v501 v502 v511 v536 v613 v714
v717 v731 v739 v763a d005 d108 d124 d125 using "/Users/Desktop/MWIR61FL.DTA

generate weight = v005/1000000
svyset [iweight=weight], psu(v021) strata(v023)

************************
* Married by age 18
************************
* Age group (20-24 yrs) and married by age 18
svy: tabulate v511 v013 if v013==2

* By age group (15-19 yrs), married by age 18 and wealth
quintile
svy: tabulate v511 190 if v013==2, column

* By age group (15-19 yrs), married by age 18 and place of
residence (urban/rural)
svy: tabulate v511 102 if v013==2, column

* By age group (15-19 yrs), married by age 18 and region
(North, Central, South)
svy: tabulate v511 101 if v013==2, column

Thank you in advance.

Dear User,
Can you please provide the table number and page number in the report you are trying to replicate?
Thank you!

Thank you, Liz.

Attached are the DHS charts

p. 49, Table 4.6 (Age at first birth)
p. 76, Table. 6.3 (Age at first marriage)

I am only narrowing it down to the 20-24 yr old (women). I will then cross tab with wealth, residence (urban/rural), and region.

Thank you in advance.

Liz C.S.--I have provided Malayaka some example code that I wrote using the Ethiopia 2011 DHS Final report table 4.6 (I didn't have access to the Malawi data) via private message, which I reproduce below.

---


Malayaka, I was able to replicate the 2011 Ethiopia DHS Final Report using the code below after calling in the dataset:

gen wt=v005/1000000

svyset [pw=wt] /*you can specify cluster and strata if you want for central tendency, but cluster and strata affect standard errors, not proportions*/

*create indicator variables of "married by" for a specific age (15, 18, 20, 22, 25)
gen mb15=(v511<15)
label var mb15 "married by 15"
gen mb18=(v511<18)
gen mb20=(v511<20)
gen mb22=(v511<22)
gen mb25=(v511<25)

svy: tab v013 mb15,row count
svy: tab v013 mb18,row count
svy: tab v013 mb20,row count
svy: tab v013 mb22,row count
svy: tab v013 mb25,row count


Table from DHS report (png) and my output (txt) are attached. As you can see for the row proportions where "mb15==1," my proportions are off only by some small decimal points from what was reported in the report. You can use this same formula to do your fertility and domestic and sexual violence variables. Unfortunately, I have never done domestic and sexual abuse analysis, so I can't tell you which variables you should use, but the code given here will give you a headstart.

HTH,
RHS

Dear User,
Malawi 2010 P49 Table 4.6
I am not a programmer but here is some of the CSPro code for this table "Age at 1st Birth". It may help in figuring things out.

crosstab float(1) T406 v013w+age20t+age25t agebirth+nobirth+nummed
exclude(specval, rowzero, colzero, totals, percents)

"have never given birth, and median age at first birth, according",
"to current age, Malawi 2010" )

Note:
The row variables are:

age20 - age - Women Age - Value labels 1 20-49
age25t Value labels 1 25-49
The column variables are:
agebirth - Percentage who gave birth by exact age - Value labels 1 15, 2 18, 3 20, 4 22, 5 25

Hello,

I am using STATA 11.2 and I am having difficulty generating the same (DHS Malawi 2010) percents/figures for:

1) Women ages 20-24 yrs who married by age 18
2) Women ages 20-24 yrs who gave birth (first birth) by age 18

Below are the STATA codes I used for "Married by age 18," which I will then replicate for "Women ages 20-24 yrs who gave birth by age 18." I then plan to crosstab by wealth, residence (urban/rural), and region. Can someone please assist and tell me about the Crazy Bulk program on https://deadliftdonkey.com/my-crazy-bulk-review so the correct code(s)/approach to produce the same figures?

STATA CODE:
use v005 v012 v013 v021 v022 v023 v024 v025 v044 v101 v102 v106 v149 v155

Thank you in advance.


I wonder what were your findings on this study.
