Dear Experts
Thank you very much for always being so helpful.
I am using Pakistan 2012-13 data set (IR data) for knowing antenatal and postnatal care in women and child only for the recent birth. I used the variables m70_1 and m71_1. But there are a lot of missing values. I am confused that i made some mistake.Is this question asked from every mother who has a live birth 5 years preceding the survey. Kindly guide me about the commands in spss or sas ( for m70_1 and m71_1) to assess the relationship between socio-demographic variables and postnatal care. I want to check my analysis with these commands.
Thank you

Dear Trevor
Kindly guide me what to do? I am working on women who had a live birth 5 years preceding the survey, (if v208=0 then delete). These missing values are for mothers who had no birth, should i deleted all the missing values and or reduce my sample size?
Regards

You may find using the variable-specific documentation for variables of interest on the IPUMS-DHS website to be helpful in determining the universe (who answered the question). The Pakistan DHS surveys are now included in IPUMS-DHS (available at idhsdata.org). You can search for variables using the DHS variable name (which in your example would be M70_1 (or M70_X) and M71_1 (or M71_X). Click on the variable name to go to the "variable description," which includes a tab for "universe" (specifying who answered the question) which is empirically checked by the IPUMS-DHS staff.
Using your example, here are how the universes are described on the IPUMS-DHS website:
M70_1 for Pakistan 2012: Ever-married women age 15-49 who gave birth in the 5 years before the survey
M71_1 for Pakistan 2012: Ever-married women age 15-49 who gave birth in the 5 years before the survey and whose last-born child had a postnatal check within 2 months of delivery.
Similar detailed information about universes is available for every sample included in every variable in IPUMS-DHS.
