Dear DHS specialists
May I request one question.
I am analyzing MDHS 2015-16 data for influencing factors on FP unmet needs among married / in-union women by referencing definition of Bradley, Croft, Fishel, and Westoff, 2012.
I used the following STATA commands to trim down the sample from MMIR71FL dataset.
tab v502
keep if v502==1
tab v502
codebook v626a
tab v626a
drop if v626a ==9
tab v626a
The final total woman sample become 6,589, and the following tables. However, in MDHS 2016-16 report , the total unmarried women sample is 7,759 for unmet need tabulation ( page 105, Table 7.12.1 : Need and demand for Family planning among currently married women) Attached extracted page of table for reference.
Pls let me have guidance why my sample size is different from DHS report ?
