Dear DHS team
I am exploring symptoms of Acute respiratory infections for some countries in SSA. Many thanks for the queries shared by dhs users on this forum on the topic and also to the dhs team for sharing with us the links to the GIthub syntax and codes. They ve been helpful resources in creating this syntax for ARI symptoms in the 2 weeks before the survey. The results I had matched with the report in Ghana 2014(table 10.5) and Kenya) 2014.(table 10.4 However, I am unable match the results for Nigeria(table 10.5) and Angola.
I would therefore appreciate any help to rectify the issue. Thanks
Michaelo
