Dear senior members,
I want to calculate children mortality rate in KR file for Ethiopia DHS 2005, 2011, 2016
However, age at death (months) for DHS 2005 is not available. How can I construct this in Stata, please?
I saw the codes in Github, and answers in the forums.
Kind regards
Zecharias

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
If you limit the files to surviving children, then b5 will equal "1" for all cases and b7 will be NA (".). You reduced the files to children who survived AND were living in the same household as the mother. To analyze mortality you must go back and reconstruct the files, retaining all children.
