Hello!

I am trying to construct a variable on unmet need for modern methods using the general Stata code provided on this web page http://www.measuredhs.com/topics/Unmet-Need.cfm (it's great DHS shares this code!).

I changed Line 17 and 19 to the following.
----------------
recode unmet_mdn .=4 if (v312>0 & v312<8) & (v605>=5 & v605<=7)
recode unmet_mdn .=4 if v312 > 10 & (v605>=5 & v605<=7)

recode unmet_mdn .=3 if (v312>0 & v312<8)
recode unmet_mdn .=3 if v312 > 10
----------------

However, I don't get the same estimates as ones in Table 4 in the DHS report on revising unmet need for FP.
Am I missing something?

Many thanks!
