Dear Sir/Madam

Regarding the Cameroon DHS 2004 tables for current contraceptive use by method among women who are married or in a union;

Would you please help me identify why my findings for any method of contraceptive use, match with the DHS findings, while that for modern, and traditional methods contraceptive use do not?

Using the IPUMS-DHS 2004 data in Stata, I have tried to reproduce contraceptive use for any, modern, and traditional methods, by region, using the following commands;

///any contraceptive method by region ///
gen any_fptyp=0
replace any_fptyp=1 if fptypnow==11 | fptypnow==12 | fptypnow==20
replace any_fptyp=. if fptypnow==.
tab geo_cm2004 any_fptyp if marstat==21 | marstat==22 [iweight = perweight], row


///traditional contracetive method by region///
gen trad_fptyp=0
replace trad_fptyp=1 if fptypnow==11 | fptypnow==12
replace trad_fptyp=. if fptypnow==.
tab geo_cm2004 trad_fptyp if marstat==21 | marstat==22 [iweight = perweight], row


///modern contracetive method by region///
gen modn_fptyp=0
replace modn_fptyp=1 if fptypnow==20
replace modn_fptyp=. if fptypnow==.
tab geo_cm2004 modn_fptyp if marstat==21 | marstat==22 [iweight = perweight], row
