Following is a response from DHS Stata Specialist, Shireen Assaf:
Your code is correct except for the inclusion of some of the treatment variables particularly h32z.
If you use the following code below you will match the report:
***********
use "BDKR70FL.DTA" , clear
* generate sampling weight
g wgt=v005/1000000
*symptoms of ARI (%)
gen ari=0 if b5==1 // b5: child is alive
replace ari=1 if b5==1 & h31b==1 & (h31c==1 | h31c==3)
tab ari [iw=wgt]
* treatment for ARI
gen treat= 0 if ari==1
foreach x in a b c d e f g h i j l n s t u v w {
replace treat=1 if ari==1 & h32`x'==1
}
ta treat [iw=wgt]
------------
As described in the DHS recode manual, h32z is described as:
"Whether the child was taken to a medical facility for treatment of the fever and/or cough. This usually includes being taken to all Public Sector facilities and all Medical Private Sector
facilities except for Pharmacy. This variable is a summary of these preceding variables as is used in the final reports."
http://www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-dhsg4-dhs -questionnaires-and-manuals.cfm
So h32z should not be included when you generate the treat variable.
