Hey Sorry,

I just realized I was looking at MIS data for Malawi 2010 rather than the standard. But I do have some questions i regards to the coding of house members for PR file.

Firstly I would like to use the data for stunting, water treatment, and free medical support.
I have attached a file of an example of the dataset, I will be forming by merging DHS with AidData's Malawi Aid Platform.

I am slightly confused about the repetitions, are they just each person in a household ? If is there a way of knowing which household they belong to ?

Last question is there no data on health expenditure for participants eg. (Out of Pocket, Help from an NGO, Government), as I belivie that I saw a variable as such, but I could not find it again.

Thanks so much for your help.

Kind Regards,
HilLary J
