Dear DHS experts,
Thank you for sharing the codes, it was really helpful! I compared it to my coding, and it seems really similar. I am doing a multi-country study and continued with other countries to see if I end up with the same problem as in South Africa DHS (2016). However, in these countries (Lesotho, Ghana and Namibia) I end up with the correct numbers and blood pressures. I am using the same coding as I used for the South Africa database.
For example, in Namibia the blood pressure results are given in de the Household database, thus similar to the South Africa database. I am using the same codes (as described above for South Africa) for Namibia and I end up with the correct number of people, whereas in South Africa I end up with too many people (n=445).
Therefore, could you maybe have another look at what could be the problem for the blood pressure measurements in the South Africa 2016 DHS?
Thank you in advance!
Best,
Rebecca
