Hi,

I was trying to see the determinants of childhood ARI in Nepal from the Birth/Child recode from NDHS 2011 dataset.
DHS report says that the final result includes 5140 children, but the question about cough was asked to total 5054 mothers only. How can i solve this issue?

I am expecting some help on that..Thank you very much.

tabulate h31

had cough in last
two weeks Freq. Percent Cum.

no 3,978 78.71 78.71
yes, last two weeks 1,050 20.78 99.49
don't know 26 0.51 100.00

Total 5,054 100.00

Dear User,
We are working on a response. Can you provide the table number and page number you are looking at in the final report?
Thank you!

Dear User,

The unweighted number of cases is 5054, but the weighted number is 5140. So it is simply a matter of applying the weights: = V005 / 1000000;

I am not a programmer, but here is some code in CSPro for this standard table that may help you in figuring things out.
Please use your map and dictionary to work with the recode variables. You may also want
to reference the recode manual on our website. http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG4/Recode6_DHS_22March2013 _DHSG4.pdf

Dear user,
The difference between the numbers you are getting in your tabulation of h31 and the number in Table 10.4 is that your tabulation is unweighted, while Table 10.4 is calculated on weighted data. All tables in DHS Final Reports are weighted data (unless the title specifies otherwise).

The DHS is a survey sample, so in order for the data to be representative of the population, it is necessary to apply weights (so most applications of using the data need to use weighted data). For information about weighting the data, please go to this resource on our website: http://www.dhsprogram.com/data/Using-DataSets-for-Analysis.c fm:

The Unweighted Frequency of h31:
No: 3978
Yes: 1050
DK: 26
Total: 5054

The Weighted Frequency of h31:
No: 3963
Yes: 1148
DK: 29
Total: 5140
