Looking for Kotelchuck Adequacy of Prenatal Care Code

[Rose, Cecilie]

Hi,

 

Does anyone have SPSS code for calculating the Kotelchuck index for adequacy of prenatal care?

Thanks in advance,

 

Cecilie

For this sort of request it would be nice for you to provide an online accessible reference.
A little digging yielded this rather primitive  SAS program.

JHCFCOL haven't these people ever heard of MACROS?

Looks fairly straightforward.

Maybe just as well they didn't. Yes, if you simply wrapped this code
in a macro, you wouldn't be stuck with the variable names the authors
chose; on the other hand, you can write amazingly obscure code with SAS macros.

Anyway, Cecilie, are you OK converting this to SPSS, or is it worth
somebody working on it?
