Dear User,
Here is more from Dr. Shea Rutstein:
Quote:

The Domestic Violence questionnaire applies only to one woman per household. It was answered by 17299 women 15-49 out of 23888 women respondents 15-49, 72.4%. Obviously, there should be fewer currently married women than ever married women. I looked up the API results, they match the report for ever-married women (12,842 weighted). Using the same percentage currently married among ever married respondents (84.8% from table 5.1 of the report), and applying that to the ever-married with DV responses, I get .848*12842= 10893 currently married women. So the IPV in the last 12 months should be about 12.9/.848=15.2%.

Best regards,
Shea
