Dear DHS team

I am trying to generate under 5 mortality data for Sierra Leone for Sierra Leone.

I use the GiftHub codes for Chapter 8 (CM_CHILD.do,CM_PMR.do, and CM_tables1.do) as explained, and I am able to use them to generate the tables in the DHS 2019 report. The codes are here: DHS-Indicators-Stata/Chap08_CM at master · DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata · GitHub

The problem is that I want to keep the infant and child mortality information generated on each individual so I can see these by wealth quintile, age of female giving birth, location etc etc.

I have tried to take some of the code from the files to generate the key information I want (on mother's age at birth, birth interval, birth order and birth size) without producing the summary information that comes out in the tables, but I am not generating the same information then as in the DHS 2019 reports so I am clearly doing something wrong.

Is there an easy way to edit the codes on gifthub so that I keep the information on infant and child mortalty for each household?

Are you able to explain how this can be done?

Thanks

Robbie
