Hi there,

I am interested in recreating the table on disposal of child stools from Uganda 2011 DHS final report. The variable is v465 from the children's recode and is asked about the youngest child in the household. First, I used this code for the survey adjustments:

egen strata=group(v024 v025)
gen sampwt=v005/1000000
svyset v021 [pweight=sampwt], strata(strata) singleunit(centered)

When I run svy: tab v465, my proportion estimates are a bit different from what is stated in the DHS final report. Do you have any explanation for this discrepancy?

Many thanks!
