Hello,
I'm trying to match the estimates given in Table 8.19 on assistance during delivery (particularly, estimates in the Total row on page 235). I'm not able to match the estimates, and I'm using the following codes:
tab m3g_1 if v208!=0 [aw=v005/1000000], m
clonevar anm_nurse_midwife_lhv = m3b_1
replace anm_nurse_midwife_lhv = 0 if m3b_1==1 & m3a_1==1
tab anm_nurse_midwife_lhv if v208!=0 [aw=v005/1000000], m
clonevar other_health_personnel = m3c_1
replace other_health_personnel = 0 if m3c_1==1 & (m3a_1==1|m3b_1==1)
tab other_health_personnel if v208!=0 [aw=v005/1000000], m
clonevar dai = m3g_1
replace dai = 0 if m3g_1==1 & (m3a_1==1|m3b_1==1|m3c_1==1)
tab dai if v208!=0 [aw=v005/1000000], m
clonevar friend = m3h_1
replace friend = 0 if m3h_1==1 & (m3a_1==1|m3b_1==1|m3c_1==1|m3g_1==1)
tab friend if v208!=0 [aw=v005/1000000], m
Also, the footnote in the table says, "If the respondent mentioned more than one person attending during delivery, only the most qualified person is considered in this tabulation." When there is no skilled assistance (that is, m3a_1, m3b_1, and m3c_1 are coded 0), and the response includes more than one from dai, friend/relative, other, and no one, there is no one most qualified. How are we estimating in such a scenario? In the above codes, for friend, I included dai as well in the qualified person, but I'm not sure.
Please help.
