Dear DHS Team,
I'm using the RDHS 2010 datasets to look, among other things, at malaria and hemoglobin in children between 6-59 months old. I'm working with STATA.
According to the children's recode file (rwkr61fl), 3733 children had their Hb measured (variable hw55).
Because I need malaria results only available in the individuals' recode (rwpr61fl), I merged the 2 datasets.
The PR recode comes with a corresponding variable for the outcome of Hb measurement (hc55). Now, according to this variable, 4068 children had their Hb measured. That's 335 more children than in the KR file.
I looked at all possible reasons I could think of and have not found a plausible explanation for this discrepancy. Can anyone help?
Thanks!!
