Hello DHS experts,
My estimates for "Person providing assistance" and "Skilled assistance at birth" are not matching those in the reports for Kenya (DHS 2014) and Senegal (DHS 2017). I have used the following code
//Skilled provider during delivery
gen rh_del_pv = 9
replace rh_del_pv = 6 if m3n == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 5 if m3h == 1 | m3i == 1 | m3j == 1 | m3k == 1 | m3l == 1 | m3m == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 4 if m3g == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 3 if m3c == 1 | m3d == 1 | m3e == 1 | m3f == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 2 if m3b == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 1 if m3a == 1
replace rh_del_pv = 9 if m3a == 8 | m3a == 9
label define pv ///
1 "Doctor" ///
2 "Nurse/midwife" ///
3 "Country specific health professional" ///
4 "Traditional birth attendant" ///
5 "Relative/other" ///
6 "No one" ///
9 "Don't know/missing"
label val rh_del_pv pv
label var rh_del_pv "Person providing assistance during delivery"
*For Kenya
**********
recode rh_del_pv (1/2 = 1 "Skilled provider") (3/5 = 2 "Unskilled provider") (6 = 3 "No one") (9=4 "Don't know/missing"), gen(sba)
label var sba "Skilled assistance during delivery"
*For Senegal
************
recode rh_del_pv (1/2 = 1 "Skilled provider") (3/5 = 2 "Unskilled provider") (6 = 3 "No one") (9=4 "Don't know/missing"), gen(sba)
replace sba=1 if m3c==1
label var sba "Skilled assistance during delivery"
Thank you

Hello,
The code you have used is correct, assuming you have used the KR file. If you used the BR file you need to restrict to children under five as shown in the GitHub code you used.
I was able to get a match to the final reports using this code as you can see in the attached screenshots.
Perhaps you are not using weights?
Please try again with applying weights. First you would need to generate a weight variable as follows:
gen wt = v005/1000000
Then tabulate your variable:
tab sba [iw=wt]
Best,
