Hello dear DHS experts,
I am attempting to create a variable "place of ANC" for the four rounds of the EDHS (2005-2019, the variable was not collected in 2000). I wanted to make this available in the IR file.
I tried creating the variable using a syntax shown below. Yet, I am not 100% sure whether I followed the right approach. I customized the syntax used to create ANC providers posted on github.com. But the problem in this variable is that there are mothers who are reported to have more than one place of ANC ( e.g: home and health facilities) and I could not figure this issue out. Can I ignore these women from my analysis (who had more than 1 place of ANC)? I am very grateful for your response and possibly, you could provide me with the correct stata code to make this variable.
Thanks.

gen rh_anc_place = 20 if m57f_1! = .

replace rh_anc_place = 10 if m57t_1 == 1 (NGO other health facility)
replace rh_anc_place = 9 if m57s_1 == 1 (NGO health facility)
replace rh_anc_place = 8 if m57o_1 == 1 (other private medical)
