Hello,
I would like to have some advice on the following:
The 2004 BDHS height-weight dataset doesn't have the key variable 'caseid' which is used to merge height-weight data with children's data. I fail to find a key variable that can be used to merge the two datasets (BDKR 2004 dataset & BDHW 2004 dataset). Can anyone please suggest how can I create the caseid variable or how can I merge the two datasets? Please note that I am using STATA.
Thanks in advance for help.
T

Here is an answer from one of our experts, Alexander Izmukhambetov:
There is an ID variable "HWHHID" in the BDWH 2004 height-weight data set. This variable contains household identification for every case (cluster + household number). There is also another ID variable "HWLINE", which identifies the household line number, relating every height-weight case to a household member.
