Dear Dr. Hussain,

The error is probably because you are using the BR file and not the IR file. The DHS reports this indicator among women so the most recent birth indicated by _1 is examined. If your unit of analysis is the child, then you can use the BR file but remove _1 from the code. Also you need to compute the age and period variables that are found in the RH_age_period.do files in the same chapter on GitHub: https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata/tree/mast er/Chap09_RH

Please read the readme file for the Stata repository and also the main file for each chapter before trying to use any of the code. There may be some notes that you miss that are essential.

For the skilled provider, you would need to refer to the Final report of the survey and search for the Table on ANC by provider to look up how a skilled provider is classified for that survey. It can vary from survey to survey as indicated in the notes in the do files on GitHub.

Best,

Shireen Assaf
