DHS Code for merging GPS and survey data

Hello everyone,

does someone know where I could find a R or Stata code (or maybe any other guideline with e.g. QGIS) that gives me direction on how to merge the GPS data with the individual survey data?

thank you.

Error: Step 6--Output results in various ways for contraceptive discontinuation rates

Dear Programmers
This forum is really helpful and provided great help. Many Many thanks for this open-source platform.

I have two questions regarding Contraceptive Discontinuation Rates.

1. When I have run the step 6 of the discontinuation rate,

line 394 putexcel B3:Jrow', nformat(number_d2) line 395 putexcel K3:Lrow', nformat(number)

     putexcel B3:J`row', nformat(number_d2)

option nformat() not allowed
r(198);

Please help me on how to handle this.

2). I also want to calculate the discontinuation rates by background characteristics, such as subnational level, education or wealth status.
I have tried a very simple way as to:
keep if v101==1, for subnational level
keep if v106==1, for no education, etc.

Is there any systematic way to calculate rates by showing al labels at once.

Thank you, Asi

underweight status as per the child's living arrangements

Hello, I want to calculate the underweight status as per the child's living arrangements. can anyone please help me to match this with the DHS-India report

DHS-Indicators-Stata/Chap11_NT Doubt for stata codes on anemia

The variables created using the Stata command given in DHS-Indicators-Stata/Chap11_NT** are not matching with the report of the government of India (Report link: https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR375/FR375.pdf). The codes give correct values for stunted, wasted, and underweight parameters but do not give correct values for anaemia parameters, like any anaemia. Please suggest the correct Stata code for anaemia parameters.
Thank you.

Problem creating even file for Contraception discontinuation rates

Dear Author
It is a great help for the programmers who are currently working on DHS data. I am working with Pakistan latest PDHS 2017-18 data, to calculate the contraception discontinuation rates. When I have used the "IR" to create an event file in STATA, the following error is prompted. Please guide me how to solve this.

local vcal_len = strlen(vcal_`col1'[1])
vcal_ ambiguous abbreviation

Possible wrong risk interval selection?

DHS-Indicators-Stata/Chap08_CM/CM_CHILD.do

Line 257 in 334fea1

replace risk`i'=.5 if (age_int_at_death>`i' | age_at_death==.) & dob+end_`i'>=start_month & dob+start_`i'< start_month

DHS-Indicators-Stata/Chap08_CM/CM_CHILD.do

Line 260 in 334fea1

replace risk`i'=.5 if (age_int_at_death>`i' | age_at_death==.) & dob+end_`i'> end_month & dob+start_`i'<=end_month

I cannot figure out why these two lines have "age_int_at_death>`i'" rather than "age_int_at_death>=`i'"

Is this correct?

Data Input Anaemia - Men

Hello,

Thank you for these useful codes. I noticed in chapter 11 the code says the data input for anaemia among men is from the MR file. However, I have checked the MR files of several countries and the variables for measuring anaemia is not present, e.g hb56, hv042 and hb55, are absent. The final report for the countries (e.g. Uganda 2016) shows anaemia among men was measured.

Can you verify if indeed the input data is MR or should be the PR file?

Thank you.

Hi, when can we expect the updated codes to compute perinatal mortality?

DHS Discontinuation rate

Hello, I am working on Discontinuation rate for India and running the whole code provided by DHS. While running the code I am getting the error variable V4 not found. Please help regrading this.

Can Previous pregnancy interval (in months) disaggregate by Stillbirths?

I have tried many times to compute previous pregnancy interval so that i may link with stillbirths (Table no: 7.5 {NFHS-4 National report}).
Please tell me how to create previous pregnancy interval?

errors in specifying the dataset for coding anemia and bmi among men

Hello,

I believe there is an error in the coding under ch13 men nutrition. When you specify

//Any anemia
gen nt_mn_any_anem=0
replace nt_mn_any_anem=1 if hb56<130
replace nt_mn_any_anem=. if hv103==0 | hv042!=1 | hb55!=0
label values nt_mn_any_anem yesno
label var nt_mn_any_anem "Any anemia - men"

using the MR data, state indicates the hb56 does not exist. To verify I check the MR data and it does not exist.

One plausible reason is that anaemia information wasn't collected for the countries I am working with or discontinued in the most current DHS for countries in SSA.

Please verify and put a note to warn or explain this issue
