2. IPV calculation

****Call of the dataset**********

*** Weighting for generalization**********

****Summing variables "d104-d108" to create the variable ipv*******

egen ipv=rsum (d104 d106 d107 d108)

****Generating variable "viol" standing for all kinds of violence combined***

*** d104: experienced any emotional violence***********

The variable V501 is for the current marital status. During the survey, it was labeled as follows:

0 never in union

1 married

2 living with partner

3 widowed

4 divorced

5 no longer living together/separated

But the variable v044 is selected for female domestic violence. Its labels are the following:

0= woman not selected

1= woman selected and interviewed

2 =woman selected, but privacy not possible

3 =woman selected, but not interviewed

Suppose we want to calculate the prevalence of IPV in selected, interviewed and ever married women
(We ignore the case of partners never in union and use the code svy: tab viol if v501>=1 & v501<=5 &
v044==1, per). Table 3 depicts the results.
