Hello all,

I am new to using DHS data and will do some data analysis for a project using STATA, which I've been learning for a few years but am no expert.

I will do a project using the DHS Nepal 2022 dataset. For my ethics application, I need to know how many children (>5, <18) in the dataset have some degree of hearing loss. I'd like to do a crosstab of the variables ha50 (under age 18) and hdis4 (difficulty hearing) and then separately ha50 and hdis3 (wear hearing aid). I have not otherwise merged any datasets or done any analysis, since I have not received the ethics approval yet. I just need to find out how many children in the dataset suffer from some degree of hearing loss, to determine whether or not I should include data from other DHS surveys (other countries). I am using the NPPR82DT dataset. All of the variables I need to use are in this dataset and none of them are empty, but when I try to crosstab them, I get the error "no observations".

Any ideas? The disability data are not commonly used, and I couldn't find anything in the other forums.

Thanks in advance

S
