Hi all
I hope you can help me with this problem. I am trying to get HIV data for couples from the Cameroon DHS but the sample domain variable used for sample weights is empty (mv023). I tried using mv101 (region) instead as I noticed that for Malawi mv023 and mv101 were the same but I don't get exactly the same results for HIV prevalence in couples as in their DHS report so I am guessing mv101 might not be the way to go.
I get out of 2875 observations:
----------+------------
missing | .0132
concordant negative | .9139
discordant F positive| .031
discordant M positive| .0275
concordant positive | .0144
Total | 1
The DHS report gives out of 2871 observations :
concordant negative 1,5
discordant F positive 3,1
discordant M positive 2,8
concordant negative 92,6
I can see the denominator is not the same but I am using the same merging code for couples + HIV that I have used with other countries successfully so I think the problem might come from the sample domain used.
Many thanks for your help in advance,
Annick
