Hello
I have a few questions regarding spousal physical violence using Uganda 2011 DHS data:
1) In the men's survey, question 909 in the survey (page 457 of the Uganda report) or label md112 in the data, the question/label reads: 'respondent ever physically hurt wife/partner when he was not hurting her'. Could you please confirm whether this should read: 'respondent ever physically hurt wife/partner when she was not hurting him' (since this would be in alignment with the women's questionnaire)? If not, could you please clarify what this is measuring?
2) Could you please clarify what 4: frequency in last 12 months missing for d105 variables is? Specifically, does this mean that violence occurred within the past 12 months but it is uncertain whether this was often or sometimes, OR does this mean violence occurred but it is uncertain whether this was often, sometimes or not in the last 12 months?
3) I am trying to create a variable for spousal physical violence in the past 12 months but am having trouble replicating the 24.2% figure in table 16.9.1 (page 256). Could you please provide information on how this was calculated? I have provided my Stata code below.
gen currentphysviol=1 if d105a==1|d105a==2|d105b==1|d105b==2|d105c==1|d105c==2|d105d= =1|d105d==2|d105e==1|d105e==2|d105f==1|d105f==2|d105j==1|d10 5j==2|d130a==1
replace currentphysviol=0 if currentphysviol==.&v044==1
tab currentphysviol [iweight=domesticviolenceweight]
Thank you very much in advance.
