Hi, your help will be most useful. I am analysing the determinants of at least 4 antenatal care visits in Zimbabwe. I am doing a multilevel analysis. I want to limit my data to births in the last five years preceding the 2010 survey (v208). I see that there were multiple births among mothers during that period so I want to further restrict my analysis to last born child.I am using SPSS, and using IF condition satisfied v208>0 was my syntax for all births. I have looked at the variable v235, and wondered whether I can use this to restrict my data to the last birth- the trouble is I don't understand because the variable is an index coded 0 for no prior child. Now I dont understand the scores that follows after which range from 2-5.As a guesswork I tried if condition is satisfied v235>0 to get the last birth, is this correct please?
