Hello,
I am working on Women Empowerment and Domestic Violence for the 2001-02 to 2018 Zambia DHS. I am facing two challenges with regard to my analysis and I am hoping for your assistance. I am using the woman file (Individual recode).
1) I have managed to replicate 2 out of 3 indicators of interest among women on Table 16.11 on page 306 of the Zambia 2018 Main Report. The indicators are on attitudes toward negotiating safer sexual relations with husband. I have not been able to replicate the 3rd indicator on "percentage of women who believe that a woman is justified in refusing to have sexual intercourse with her husband if she knows he has an STI". I cannot see the variable which was used to run the indicator (the report has a total of 60.4 percent on Table 16.11). I thought the indicator which was used is V633a (country specific indicator) but the STATA output indicates that the indicator has no observations when I run it. Kindly assist on the variable used to produce the above mentioned indicator.
2) The second challenge is with regard to variable v739. I have managed to replicate the tables in the 2018 and 2007 ZDHS reports (Table 16.2.1) by simply running the indicator. However, I have not managed to do so for the 2013-14 and 2001-02 Tables. For instance, when I run the indicator in the 2013-14 ZDHS dataset, I get a denominator of 3,692 instead of 3,703 as indicated in the report in Table 16.2.1 on page 255 (I am missing 11 current married women). The code I am using for all the years is as follows:
gen wt=v005/1000000
gen strata=v023
svyset [pw=wt], psu(v021) strata(v025)
tab v739 [iw=wt]
Attached is the file with the STATA output.
I have checked the Recode manual and the Guide to DHS Statistics on the above two challenges but I have not been helped much. I have also not seen a similar post on this forum on the challenges that I am facing.
I am thanking you in advance as I wait for your guidance.
