Hi all,

I'm working on the socio-determinants predicting under-five mortality in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I'm using birth data from DHS 2007 Democratic Republic of Congo. But I have noticed that there is a lot of data missing in the variable b11 (preceding or succeeding birth interval). Could you, please, explain to me what do these missing data represent? What should I do to address the problem?

Note: I'm using STATA for data analysis.

Best regards,
Adrien.
