For eg. I downloaded Cambodia dta.file for DHIS 2014. I went to look for some antenatal care indicators
e.g. m70 "Baby postnatal check within 6 weeks".

1) While I am browsing the data for m70_1, I noticed there were a lot of m70_2, m70_3 etc...
However, most of them are blank. So what's the relevancy of these blank variables?
This happens to other indicators as well.

But then, I noticed that for H3_1 " tetanus vaccination", the H3_2, H3_3 ..some of them are not blank.
So how do I know which is exactly relevant?

I am only looking for one clean response, per indicator, per individual.
-------------

Also, to summarize regression code, can you confirm that the following code will work? What will be the code difference, if i would like to run multi regression?

syvset[pw=weight],psu(v021/v001)strata(v022/v023)
svy: reg H3_1 m70_1

Thanks!
