Hello,
I am working with the Zambia 2013-14 datasets -- and have a question about determining breastfeeding rates.
Similar to Table 11.3 in the report, I'd like to calculate what percentage of children are exclusively breastfed (by maternal age, hence my need to use the data rather than figures from the report).
The Guide to DHS Statistics, on page 123, states that exclusive breastfeeding status is determined via a 24-hour recall.
But, in the Zambia dataset I downloaded, the variables that seem like they would indicate this -- v407 and v408 in the ZMKR61FL.DTA file -- are marked "na" and are all missing values.
Can you help me figure out how to replicate the values from Table 11.3 in the report, using the data that are available?
Thank you!
