Hello,
I have done the repair of the PR file with the script provided by DHS to include disability variables to the PR file. Unfortunately upon running the analysis with the "repaired" dataset, I'm getting a prevalence of hearing impairment among children aged 5-17 of approximately 15%, which is not only implausible, but it is not in line with the India country report. I believe it must have something to do with the way the dataset was constructed, and that the repair somehow did not really work. Or perhaps it has to do with the multiple strata with a single PSU. If you could provide guidance to this issue, I would be most grateful.

Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Users are asked to specify the number and table in the final report that they are trying to match. You are probably talking about tables 2.29-2.31 in the NFHS-5 final report.
Below I will paste a Stata program that produces estimates of the prevalence of each type of impairment for children age 5-17. The estimates appear to be consistent with the report, although I have not checked them carefully. You will have to change the paths.
