Dear DHS Team,
Good evening.
Please I have several questions.
I'm working on variable MM9, M13 and M14.
I understand that MM9 in the Nigeria Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) indicates if the respondent's sister was pregnant when she died, if she died during childbirth, within 6 weeks after the delivery or within 2 months after the delivery.
However, the SPSS dataset NGIR7BFL has some variables I am interested in and they are all in multiples.
MM9 is from MM9$01 - MM9$20 (maternal mortality)
M13 is from M13$1 - M13$6 (timing of first antenatal check)
M14 is from M14$1 - M14$6 (number of antenatal visits)
Please, how can I combine the variables mm9_01 to mm9_20 to a single variable?
Please, how can I combine the variables m13_01 to m13_6 to a single variable?
Please, how can I combine the variables m14_01 to m14_6 to a single variable?
My dillemma, is which of these variables in these ranges for MM9, M13 and M14 should be analysed?
My research is looking at the association between timing of first antenatal check and number of antenatal visits during pregnancy, and maternal mortality when controlling for highest educational level, and ethnicity among pregnant women in Nigeria.
Thank you
