Hi Trevor,

I am using DHS data from Peru for 2004-2012. (It's a compiled dataset). However, when I examine the data from 2012 exclusively, it shows that all values for mm8 are missing for siblings that died. I reshaped the data to long format. Looking at 2012 data, I used the code below to find the number of siblings that had a year of death reported, and this code returned a value of 0.

count if mm2 == 0 & mm8 !=.

Thank you for any assistance you can offer!
Kathleen
