Hello,

I still have some follow up questions on the 2017 Ghana Maternal Health Survey:

Q1. If I merge the raw births record file to the individual record file and then limit all pregnancy in the last 5 years and then apply the tab pregall5yr pregout [iw=wt], row freq for the number of pregnancy outcomes for the last 5 years (abortion, miscarriage and stillbirth). I want to create similar variables in the individual record file (q207a, q207b, q207c, q207d, q207e, q207f) for the last five years). Is there a way to create binary variables (0=No, 1=Yes) for abortion, miscarriage, and stillbirths in the last 5 years using the pregout variables). How to I create similar variables for (q207b q207d q207f) for pregnancies in the last 5 years?

Q2. What is the difference in the questions in the individual record file (q207b, q207d, q207f) and (q224a q224ay q224b q224by q224d)? Which ones are the index abortion, miscarriage, and stillbirth?

Q3. Is it possible to calculate the duration (weeks or months) of each pregnancy in the last 5 years to create a variable called "Preterm birth" (0=less than 37 weeks, 1= above 37 weeks).

Thank you.
