Hello,
I am working on the Pakistan database (2017-2018). I am analyzing the type of facilities used by women for antenatal care. I am coding the m57 variable. I am combining them either as Private, Public, or Home. I have run the following codes but I have run into issues when I am doing regression analysis. The issue arise because some women who received antenatal care at home also visited public or private hospitals/clinics. I created a categorical variable with 3 categories (public, private, and home). In regression, home is my compersion group. In the results private is completely omitted. I do not understand where I have made the mistake. I have made changes in my codes but the problem does not resolve. The coding commands are as below. I can not understand where I am going wrong or what mistakes I have made in any way. Can you kindly help me in pointing out my mistake as well as help me with my codes? I really appreciate your help in this crucial time of mine (time sensitive due to deadlines).
Thank you
Aamna
