Hello.
I want to calculate maternal autonomy at the community level. I have created 3 measures of individual maternal autonomy using the information on the extent to which a woman participates in the decision-making process regarding:
1. her own health,
2. visiting family members and friends, and
3. how to use money that the husband earns

I have assigned a value of 0 if the response was 'respondent alone' and 'husband and respondent', and -1 otherwise. How can I calculate the proportion of women per PSU scoring a value of 0?
