Dear all,

We are trying to reproduce the % of under-5 children with a birth registration for Senegal 2015 (Table 15.1 in the country report).
We are using the following codes, which we already used for other surveys, to calculate the results:

** PR dataset **
gen breg = .
replace breg = 0 if inrange(hv105,0,4) & hv102==1
recode breg (0=1) if inrange(hv140,1,2)
svyset hv021 [pweight=hv005]
svy: prop breg


. svy: prop breg
(running proportion on estimation sample)

Survey: Proportion estimation

Number of strata = 1 Number of obs = 7087
Number of PSUs = 214 Population size = 6279670112
Design df = 213

------------------------------------------------------------ --
| Linearized
| Proportion Std. Err. [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+---------------------------------------------- --
breg |
0 | .3173947 .0209918 .2775279 .3601337
1 | .6826053 .0209918 .6398663 .7224721
------------------------------------------------------------ --

We found an estimate of 68.3% and a weighted sample size of 6,280, however the results in the report are 80.4% and sample size the same (6,280).

Was the estimated % from the report calculated from another dataset or we are missing something in the code?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Fernanda
