Hello,
I am trying to get the breastfeeding status of children under 2 years. I am using Ghana Demographic and Health Survey 2014. I have tried categorizing all the foods taken by the children as captured by the survey but I am not getting the corresponding figures as in the GDHS report. Thus, Table 11.3: Breastfeeding Status by age. Below are the STATA codes I used. I am using the GHKR70FL file. Any help! Thanking you.
**** To get the last children of 2 yrs living with mom *****
gen age = v008-b3
keep if age<24 & b5==1
recode age(0/1=1 "0-1")(2/3=2 "2-3")(4/5=3 "4-5")(6/8=4 "6-8")(9/11=5 "9-11")(12/17=6 "12-17")(18/23=7 "18-23")(24/59=.), gen(child_age)
tab child_age
gen peso=v005/1000000
tab child_age[iw=peso]
keep if b9==0
drop if _n > 0 & caseid == caseid[_n-1]
tab child_age
tab child_age[iw=peso]
