The most recent Zimbabwe DHS shows that the new prevalence for sexual violence is 13.5%, which is a marked decline from the 2010 ZDHS which had a sexual violence prevalence of about 27%. On recreating the tables in the 2010 and 2015 ZDHS I noted that d123 was used in the calculation of sexual violence prevalence in 2010 whilst in 2015 this was subsequently replaced by d130b. My question is due to this change in measurement and calculation are the prevalence in 2010 and 2015 comparable. Attached is the code I used for both analysis Please advice if this is correct and how to read the difference in the two prevalence .
