Hello,
The Stata files that end in SP are the raw SPA datasets, so the variables have not been standardized. The variables in the raw files correspond more or less to the question numbers in the questionnaire. So q300 in the raw data set is the availability of services, which is question 300 in the facility inventory on page 417 in Appendix D of the final report, q303 is whether or not FP services are available on the day of the interview, which is question 303 in the questionnaire.
Unfortunately, there is no Guide to SPA statistics, so you'll need to look at the questionnaire, as well as the tables and footnotes in the final report to determine how to calculate them. If you are unable to match the tables in the final report, you can look here in the user forum, where we've answered many questions about specific indicators. If you can't find the information already in the user forum, then feel free to post a question yourself.
Best,
Sara
