Hi,
I have problem with calculating the ownership of insecticide Treated nets using Camaeroon DHS6 2011 Household Survey (CMHR60FL).
I used the Variables HML10$1 to HML10$7 and Summed them up to calculate the number of ITNs per each household then recoded it into a 0 if No ITNs and 1 if house hold has 1 or more ITNs.
I weighed variable using HV005 but for me i get a 7% as the proportion of households with ITNs vs 36% in the Cameroon DHS publication.
The variable i'm interested in is households with at least one insecticide treated net.
Thanks a lot.
