Dear DHS experts,

I am trying to replicate some variables in table 3.8.1 from Bangladesh SPA 2017 in Stata. My code is:

*1. Amitriptyline
gen ami=0
replace ami=1 if q903_01==1

*2. Amoxicillin
gen amoxi=0
replace amoxi=1 if q901_01==1


*3. Atenolol
gen aten=0
replace aten=1 if q903_03==1


*4. Captopril
gen capt=0
replace capt=1 if q903_06==1

*5. Ceftriaxone
gen ceft=0
replace ceft=1 if q901_09==1

*6. Ciprofloxacin
gen cipro=0
replace cipro=1 if q901_10==1


*7. Cotrimoxazole
gen cotrim=0
replace cotrim=1 if q901_12==1


*8. Diazepam
gen diaz=0
replace diaz=1 if q903_08==1


*9. Diclofenac
gen diclon=0
replace diclon=1 if q908_01==1


*10. Glibenclamide
gen gliben=0
replace gliben=1 if q903_14==1

*11. Omeprazole
gen omep=0
replace omep=1 if q903_22==1

*12. Paracetamol
gen para=0
replace para=1 if q908_03==1


*13. Salbutamol inhaler
gen sal=0
replace sal=1 if q903_24==1



According to the questionnaire, I appear to be looking at the correct variables, but I'm not getting the percentages as shown in the table of the report. Is there anything else I should think about? Any assistance in this regard would be highly appreciated.


Many thanks

Hi Shakim,
You have calculated the variables correctly, you just need to tabulate the variables using the facility weight. You can scale the existing facwt variable in the dataset by using

gen fwt=facwt/1000000

then if you use that as your analytical weight in the tabulation, for example:

tab ami [aw=fwt]

In this way, you will be able to replicate the results in Table 3.8.1

Best of luck!
