Hi,

Kindly help! I have managed to calculate the number of stillbirth for Zambia in line with the ZDHS 2018 report using SPSS. The challenge however is that once I compute the the sample size which is the total # women who have had pregnancies of 7 months (births + stillbirths) or more and weight it (which matches with the ZDHS report= 9869 from about 13500), this automatically affects the number of stillbirths and increases them to 200 from the accurate 119.I am failing to figure out where I am going wrong. Kindly guide, I have attached the outputs and syntax commands for reference. Your prompt feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Shadrick
