I am trying to link the data in spss format to the GPS point in ArcGIS but there is no common field. Please how can i differentiate the data in SPSS based on the states where the data was collected.

Response from one of our experts, Thea Roy:

The DHSCLUST field from the GPS data files matches the v001 variable from the birth recode or the hv001 variable from the household recode. For detailed information about any field in the GPS datasets, see the GPS Data Format document: http://www.measuredhs.com/What-We-Do/upload/MEASURE-DHS-GPS- Data-Format.pdf

Please refer to the message "District Codes in recode files" ( http://userforum.measuredhs.com/index.php?t=msg&th=70&am p;am p;start=0&) for information on how to determine the state classifications. The Nigeria 2008 DHS birth recode file also contains state classifications in variable v023.
