Hi,
I am using Bangladesh DHS-2007 to estimate the proportion of postnatal checkup for mother and newborn by medically trained provider within two days of delivery, but the result didn't match with the report.
Could anyone kindly tell me what's wrong with my STATA code. I used kids record file.
clear all
set more off
use "/Bangladesh/BDKR2007.DTA", clear
* generate sampling weight
g wgt=v005/1000000
*generate last birth
g lbirth=1 if bidx==1
**preceding survey
gen age2_=v008 - b3< 24 & lbirth==1 //preceding two yrs survey
gen age6_59_=v008 - b3>=6 //6 months preceding survey
gen age3_=v008 - b3<36 //3 years precedding survey
//Postnatal checkup within 2 days preceding 3 years of survey
*Postnatal care for mother by Medically trained provider
gen checkm=0 if bidx==1
replace checkm=1 if bidx==1 & (s434a==1| s434b==1) & (m51<=202) //
label var checkm "mother postnatal checkup by trained provider within 2 days of delivery"
tab checkm if age3_==1 [iw=wgt] // for three years precedding the survey
tab checkm [iw=wgt] // for five years precedding the survey // page-123 BDHS-2007
*Postnatal care for infant by Medically trained provider
gen checkc=0 if bidx==1
replace checkc=1 if bidx==1 & (s439a==1| s439b==1) & m71<=202
label var checkc "postnatal checkup of newborn by trained provider within 2 days of delivery"
tab checkc if age3_==1 [iw=wgt] // for three years precedding the survey
tab checkc [iw=wgt] // for five years precedding the survey // page-124 BDHS-2007
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Zobi

Thank you so much. The problem for BDHS-2007 was solved.
I also want to estimate postnatal care of mother and child from BDHS-2004, but I didn't find the variable m71. I found m51 but not sure whether m51 is for mother or child. Also, I found s432b, but the frequency didn't match.
Anyway, I need the percentage of mother and child that received postnatal checkup within 2 days of delivery from a medically trained provider from BDHS-2004, 1999-2000, and 1996-97 (only for last birth and three years proceeding the survey.
It is possible to clarify those facts or share a general code for older Bangladesh DHS (2004, 1999-2000, 1996-97)?
Thank you.
Regards,
Zobida

Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:
Regarding post-natal care, m50 (yes/no) and m51 (timing) always refer to the mother. m70 and m71 are similar but always refer to the child. It's unfortunate that the names of these variables are often ambiguous as to whether they refer to the mother or the child. You can usually resolve the ambiguity by looking at the labels for variables that have nearby numbers. However, what I said is the standard DHS coding.
It appears that the 1996-97 and 1999-2000 Bangladesh surveys do not include these variables.
The 2004 survey includes m50 and m51. It does not include m70 and m71. s432a is probably equivalent to m70, but there is no s variable for the timing.
You should go to the questionnaires, included as appendices in the back of the main reports, to see whether questions were included about the timing of postnatal care, for the mother or the child. If you do this for the 2004 survey, you should be able to find questions about yes/no and timing for the child, and possibly a yes/no question for the child (which would be the source of s432a) but (I believe) no question about the timing for the child.
As you can imagine, postnatal care is very similar for the mother and child. However, the two are not identical.
Unfortunately, the comparisons you would like to make may simply not be possible.
