Hi everyone,

I am working with the ZWBR62DT.dta data - so the Zim 2011 DHS STATA data - and I want to extract data on contraceptive use from any woman in a household where at least one woman in that household has had a birth in the 2 years prior to the survey. The only available data for Zim 2011 is BR, KR, GE and HR, so I'm not sure which one I should use to get all of this data. I don't think that the BR dataset contains any information on women in households that haven't had births because... this is a birth level dataset, but I'm also not sure that any of the other datasets have the variables I'm interested in (contraceptive use / modern contraceptive use). Could someone please advise me on (1) which dataset to use and (2) how to extract this information? Thanks so much.

-Sean
