Hello,

Thank you very much for your response.

I have decided to take option number 2, pooling the data together to create a prevalence of diarrhea for the available DHS countries at that time just to show that the trend is decreasing over time. The samples were equally represented (with the same weights) in each 5-year category, and I used a random effect to account for the unexplained variability and heterogeneity between countries within a specific 5-year period.
