Hi there,
Very grateful for your time.
I'm working with the 2022 DHS survey for Mozambique and currently looking at functional disabilities in children aged 5-17 (which is unlucky for me since the code for that module isn't yet on github I think!)

Anyway, I've replicated the numbers for 2-5 year olds easily. And am quite confident in my variables for 5-17 year olds. However, I do not match the numbers in the report - and notably, I do not match the sample size of 11,769 reported in table 20.4. I've followed the instructions on handling missing variables and 'don't know' answers quite carefully...

I was hoping you might share the code for this table - and let me know which dataset it is based on. Initially I have assumed Household Members - but I am beginning to wonder if it is Households and something odd has happened in the conversion. Though probably I have just made a mistake somewhere...

Thanks a lot!
Simon
