I am trying to replicate Table 16.1 from the 2010-11 Zimbabwe DHS final report (page 254), and am having difficulty doing so. I can replicate the "often physical violence in the last 12 months," as well as the "any physical violence in the last 12 months," but I cannot replicate "Ever" or "Sometimes in the last 12 months." I am wondering if someone can help explain why this is, and provide any suggestions as to how to fix the problem.
I am using Stata 11.2, and have defined the weighting scheme as follows:
gen wgt=d005/1000000
svyset v021 [pweight=wgt], strata(v022) vce(linearized) singleunit(missing)
keep if v044==1
I have defined the physical violence variables as follows:
**Ever:**
gen epv=cond(1,d106==1|d107==1|d115y==0,0)
**Often (last 12 months):**
gen opv=cond(1, d105a==1|d105b==1|d105c==1|d105d==1|d105e==1|d105f==1|d105j= =1|d117a==1,0)
**Sometimes (last 12 months):**
gen spv=cond(1, d105a==2|d105b==2|d105c==2|d105d==2|d105e==2|d105f==2|d105j= =2|d117a==2,0)
**Any (last 12 months):**
gen adv=cond(1,odv==1|sdv==1,0)
My crosstab code, using the wealth index as an example, is as follows:
**Ever:**
tab v190 epv [iweight=wgt], row
**Often (last 12 months):**
tab v190 opv [iweight=wgt], row
**Sometimes (last 12 months):**
tab v190 spv [iweight=wgt], row
**Any (last 12 months):**
tab v190 apv [iweight=wgt], row
As I said, my results for often and any match up well to the DHS results, but ever and sometimes do not. I have attached my results, as well as those of DHS for comparison.
On a side note, the denominator in the table is reported as 6542, but I noticed that there are 2 observations coded as "9" in the d106 and d107 variables (physical violence by husband/partner), and 13 observations coded as "9" in d117 "physical violence by non-husband/partner." Would this not mean that the actual denominator should be 6529? I have run my calculations both with and without these observations, and this does not explain the discrepancy.
Many thanks for any help that can be provided!
