Hello Ashley,

I am not sure that values were imputed for Mozambique as you say. I used our standard code which is also available on our DHS Code Share Library on GitHub (https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata) and get a match with the final report (Table 9.5). If you would like to check this code, please go to the GitHub link and see the RH_DEL.do file in Chapter 9. Please read the readme file before running this code, you would need to run the RHmain.do file. However, the code I provide below will give you a match for place of delivery for the 2011 Mozambique DHS.

The same code can be used for Tanzania 2004 survey, however the standard code groups religious institutions with private, you can use the code to separate that category out if you like. The repeated values you mention are the difference between public and private. Values between 20/29 are reserved for public institutions and values between 30/39 are reserved for private or other non-government institutions.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Shireen Assaf

*Standard DHS Stata code for place of delivery
*open BR file for the survey

gen period = 60
gen age = v008 - b3

//Place of delivery - by place type
recode m15 (20/29 = 1 "Health facility - public") (30/39 = 2 "Health facility - private") (10/19 = 3 "Home")(40/98 = 4 "Other") (99=9 "Missing"), gen(rh_del_pltype)
replace rh_del_pltype = . if age>=period
label var rh_del_pltype "Live births by type of health facility"

gen wt=v005/1000000
