Abstract This study analyses the determinants of birth weight in Guinea using data from the DHS collected in 2005. The results from econometric analysis show that mother's age, child's sex, area of residence, and tetanus immunization status of the mother are strongly correlated with birth weight in Guinea. However, the size of the correlation between anti-tetanus vaccination and birth weight depends on the estimation method. Thus, it is important to use appropriate estimation method to avoid misleading inference and bad policies.
