Hello,

I am using the India DHS 2019-21 to look at cervical cancer screening. I am trying to match the table in Stata by using the women's record (IAIR7DDT) file.
I am unable to match the numbers and percentages in "Table 12.7: Screening tests for cancer," in the second column, "Prevalence of cancer screening tests".
I created weight [wt=v005/1000000] and then used svyset [pw=wt], psu(v021) strata(v022). To tabulate the frequencies, I used tab sb79 [iw=gt].
I wondered if anyone would be able to advise me if I am using the right dataset, sample weights, and, most importantly, the right variable to determine cervical cancer screening.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
