Hello,

I see that the community questionnaire fielded in the Bangladesh DHS of 2011 is available in the "Service Availability" dataset. Is the way to link this file with the women's individual or household datasets simply to merge the two datasets on the "cluster" variable? Is there anything else I should be aware of while doing this?

Secondly, would anyone have a recommendation about whether cluster-level variables should be calculated (obviously?) from the Service Availability dataset where the relevant variables of interest are available in it, and/or calculated by aggregating all the individual responses within a cluster?

Thank you very much.
