Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well.
I'm reaching out to request some support. I'm working with a database that has 40,394 observations. However, upon examining the report, I noticed that the total number of households is 15,705, from which information was obtained for 15,254 women of reproductive age, as mentioned in the report. Thus, I've come to understand that there are duplications in the database I possess and realized the need to remove them to reach the expected 15,254 observations.
However, my concern arose when I noticed that, upon attempting to remove the duplications to reach the expected number of surveyed women of reproductive age (15,254), the total observations drastically decreased to 257 when using the V002 variable, while the V003 variable showed 30 observations. When employing the CASEID variable, I obtained 11,116 observations.
I would like to better understand how I can overcome this issue and obtain an accurate count of the surveyed women of reproductive age.
Thank you in advance for your attention, and I hope to receive guidance on how to proceed regarding this matter.
Best regards,
Sancho Xavier
