Merging data files [message #23240]

Hi

I am currently analyzing DHS data using the birth records dataset. However, I would like to adopt certain variables from the Household datasets. The variable in the birth record dataset is more than that of the household dataset. So when I attempt to merge the two datasets I keep getting the message on STATA that "variable does not uniquely identify observations in the master data".

What would be the best way to merge birth records (n=50,000) and Household (n=20,000) datasets?

Thank you

Kind regards.
Joshua
