I am working with the DHS data across five countries and looking at relationship between women's empowerment and children's dietary diversity after adjusting for some important exogenous variables. So, my DV is Food Groups (ranging from 1 to 7) and my IVs include 3 different domains of women's empowerment, wealth index, location, age of child, seasonal droughts, etc. I am trying to also examine if the effect of women's empowerment on number of food groups consumed will differ across different socioeconomic group hence I am investigation an interaction between women'e empowerment and wealth index. Please find the codes I used below and my Stata outputs. I ran both DL-Tobit and Poisson and estimated the margins command afterwards but I am struggling to interpret the margins. I think DL-Tobit might be a better model since the DV variable is count with a lower and upper limit. Please, what am I doing wrong and how can I interpret the interactions after running the -margins- command
