Hello, Thanks for your recent updates re IPUMS. I have a question about linking merged data produced by IMPUMS to similar dataset from the DHS (cross-posted on IPUMS forum on IDHS site).
I am examining HIV risk behaviors in sub-Saharan Africa, and will be using data from the following countries:
Angola
Benin
Burkina Faso
Burundi
Cameroon
Chad
Congo
Congo Democratic Republic
Cote d'Ivoire
Eswatini
Ethiopia
Gabon
Gambia
Ghana
Guinea
Kenya
Lesotho
Liberia
Malawi
Mali
Mozambique
Namibia
Niger
Rwanda
Senegal
Sierra Leone
South Africa
Tanzania
Togo
Uganda
Zambia
Zimbabwe
I plan to use IPUMS to create a pooled dataset containing selected/harmonized variables of interest. However, IPUMS currently does not have data for the following countries (unless I am mistaken):
Chad
Gabon
Liberia
Sierra Leone
Togo
Swaziland/Eswatini
If this is the case, my plan is to go ahead generate the pooled dataset using IPUMS. I have access to the data for these subset of six countries. How do I append them to the IPUMS harmonized version and ensure that is is truly harmonized - with variable and value/labels?
thanks - Yawo
