Dear all

We are using the Nigeria (DHS 2008) to generate mortality indicators. As we are analysing several surveys simultaneously using a Stata code, we systematically use the variable v024 to identify the countries' regions, which is standard for most surveys.

We identified two different variables (v101 and v024) in the Nigeria (DHS 2008) dataset. We used the v024 to identify the regions, but we could not produce estimates comparable to the results published on the report and Statcompiler. It seems that the calculations were based on the v101 instead of the v024. Comparing these variables, we also realised that the codes of the "south west" and "south south" regions are switched.

Does anybody know whether the published results related to region were based on the v101 variable?

Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Giovanny.
