Hi there,

I am working with the Afghanistan 2010 Mortality Survey. In the women's file there are a few questions (q406 and q427) from the maternity section that ask women what problems they had when they first had antenatal care and during delivery. As multiple responses are allowed the variable in the dataset is a long string of letters and there are several combinations of these (attached here a snapshot of part of the table generated when i run tab). Could you please advise on how these can be separated out in STATA so that I can count how many women had each of the symptoms mentioned for each pregnancy?

thanks

Ali
