Hi!
I am working with NFHS-5 (2019-21) data for India, and using KR file for the most recent live births (MIDX==1). I am trying to reproduce INDICATOR 42 in STATE FACT SHEET (MOTHERS WHOSE LAST BIRTH WAS PROTECTED WITH NEONATAL TETANUS).
As defined this indicator includes
(a) mothers receiving 2 TT injection during pregnancy, OR
(b) two or more injections (the last within 3 years of the last live birth), OR
(c) three or more injections (the last within 5 years of the last birth), OR
(d) four or more injections (the last within 10 years of the last live birth), OR
(e) five or more injections at any time prior to the last birth.
I am currently using Stata package. Could anyone please provide DO FILE for it? Your support is appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards
Rupon

Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
This variable is the number of years since the most recent tetanus injection. If you look at the distribution, it goes out to 40 years, but 99.4% of the responses are in the past 20 years. I believe 20 years is an arbitrary boundary for saying that any larger numbers are probably due to recall error.
I just copied (with some minor editing) the GitHub construction, which is based on the CSPro construction. I don't know who decided on a boundary of 20 but it gives a match to the report.
