Hello DHS experts,
My estimates for "Person providing assistance" and "Skilled assistance at birth" are not matching those in the reports for Kenya (DHS 2014) and Senegal (DHS 2017). I have used the following code
//Skilled provider during delivery
gen rh_del_pv = 9
replace rh_del_pv = 6 if m3n == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 5 if m3h == 1 | m3i == 1 | m3j == 1 | m3k == 1 | m3l == 1 | m3m == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 4 if m3g == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 3 if m3c == 1 | m3d == 1 | m3e == 1 | m3f == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 2 if m3b == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 1 if m3a == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 9 if m3a == 8 | m3a == 9
label define pv ///
1 "Doctor" ///
2 "Nurse/midwife" ///
3 "Country specific health professional" ///
4 "Traditional birth attendant" ///
5 "Relative/other" ///
6 "No one" ///
9 "Don't know/missing"
label val rh_del_pv pv
label var rh_del_pv "Person providing assistance during delivery"
*For Kenya
**********
recode rh_del_pv (1/2 = 1 "Skilled provider") (3/5 = 2 "Unskilled provider") (6 = 3 "No one") (9=4 "Don't know/missing"), gen(sba)
label var sba "Skilled assistance during delivery"
*For Senegal
************
recode rh_del_pv (1/2 = 1 "Skilled provider") (3/5 = 2 "Unskilled provider") (6 = 3 "No one") (9=4 "Don't know/missing"), gen(sba)
replace sba=1 if m3c==1
label var sba "Skilled assistance during delivery"
I will request your support for this.
Thank you
