Hello,

While tabulating the frequency and percent of women who physically hurt their husband when he was not hurting them (variable d112a), which is for the past 12 months, the numbers are higher than (variable d112) for ever physically hurt their partner.

I would imagine that the past 12 months frequency for yes (n=1561+6077) would be lower than the yes category for ever hurt their partner (n=1471). Is there a mistake here? The tabulation below is from the Colombia 2010 women's dataset COIR61FL.

Thank you,
Anne
