We are having trouble re-creating the 2014 published Kenya mCPR data for married women. Our current approach is to look at those who received the short-form version based on variable HV027 while applying HV028 as a weight, using V502 code 1 to account for only married women. Those values are still slightly off the married mCPR published in Kenya's DHS report.

Has anyone else had success with a different approach when looking at the short vs long form survey?

Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Hi Lauren--I suspect that you are using v501=1 to determine whether a woman is currently married. This table (and contraceptive prevalence in general) is based on v501=1 or 2, i. v502=1. Living with partner is included with currently married. Please try that change.

When trying to match numbers in a table, start with the totals row at the bottom of the table. First try to match the n (in this case 18,549) and then the overall percentage (in this case 53.2%).

Please let me know if you still do not get a match.
