Dear rasel,

Please pay attention to the way variables are named in the dataset. For example here, in your code for full blood count, you are using q802a_1, however, in the Haiti dataset, that variable should be q802a_01. In addition, in Haiti the only criterion for this variable is the hematology analyzer, although this was not included in the footnotes. You can remove the part of your code about the blood chemistry analyser, and you should get the same % as in the final report.

For sterilization, the definition is not clear from the footnotes, so here is the appropriate code:

replace steril=1 if (q201==1 | q201==2) & ((q501a_04==1 & q501b_04==1) | (q501a_01==1 & q501b_01==1) | (q501a_02==1 & q501b_02==1 & q501a_07==1 & q501b_07==1))

For most countries, if you compare final report table footnotes, the dataset, and the variable names, you should be able to recreate the variables to match the final report %.

Best of luck,
Sara
