stepssurvey: Analyse WHO STEPS Survey Data

Provides a complete analysis pipeline for the WHO STEPwise Approach to NCD Risk Factor Surveillance (STEPS) as described in Riley et al. (2016) <doi:10.2105/AJPH.2015.302962>. Imports raw survey data ('CSV', 'Excel', 'Stata', 'SPSS'), applies WHO-standard cleaning and recoding, sets up complex survey designs, computes all standard NCD indicators (tobacco, alcohol, diet, physical activity, anthropometry, blood pressure, biochemical), and generates publication-ready tables, visualisations, and 'Word'/'HTML' reports (fact sheet, data book, country report).
