Hi Janet,
I am currently working on pooled analysis from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives and India DHS to find risk factors of teenage pregnancy. What I can see the sample of women is 'all woman 15-49 yrs' for Nepal, India and Bangladesh; whereas the sample of woman
for Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh is "ever married woman 15-49 yrs". This is where I applied all woman factor to increase the sample of woman for those three countries. By doing so, I did get an exactly sample number of woman sample as reported in DHS report but, failed to get the correct percentage of woman who have begun childbearing. For example, lets take Afghanistan DHS. My analysis showed Percentage of childbearing is 59.5% whereas the report states 12.1%.
my work on stata and the DHS report snapshots are attached below.
I wish to get quicker response, as I am running out of my time.
kind regards,
