Dear Sir/Madam,
I am working on Multidimensional Child Poverty Analysis using 2019 Mini DHS of Ethiopia. The methodology I planned to follow is Alkir-Foster Method to analysis the level of child multidimensional poverty in the country. In the study I have many dimensions such as: Development/stunting, Nutrition, Health, Water, Sanitation, and Housing for child under age 5 and Education, Health related knowledge, Information and participation, Water, Sanitation, and Housing for children between age 5 to 17. Within each dimension I have indicators. Thus, the variables I am going to use are many. In this regard, my inquire is, please may you show me how to marge all data sets to a single data set? Thank You in Advance.
With Regards,
HTLM

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your help. I followed your suggestion and fixed some of my problems. But, since my indicators are many, I need additional help from your side. I have individual, household, household member as well as birth related variables; that looks for merging not PR and KR files, but also BR, FW, HR, and IR. Please may you help me in doing so? FYI, I have listed below the dimensions and indicators I work with. Thank You in advance.

Thank You Dear. The information provided is very helpful and I managed following your suggestion. Thank You again.
Additional inquire: I have indicators about household knowledge of ORS usage for treating diarrhoea and Household/individual knowledge about HIV/AIDS. The full information about the indicators are the following:
1. Household knowledge about ORS for treating diarrhoea: child aged 5-14 years lives in a household where none of the women members (ages 15-49) have used ORS for treating diarrhoea or know that ORS can be used for treating diarrhoea.
2. Household/individual knowledge about HIV/AIDS: child aged 5-14 years is deprived if none of the household members has knowledge about HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention; whereas a child aged 15-17 is deprived if she/he does not have knowledge on HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention. When individual information is not available, information from adult household members is imputed. The child is deprived if she/he or none of household members: i. Has never heard about HIV/AIDS; ii. Does not know that HIV/AIDS transmission can be prevented by having sex with one partner who has no other partners or by always using condoms during sex; iii. Does not reject any of the two most common misconceptions about HIV/AIDS transmission that HIV can be spread by mosquito bites or by sharing food with an HIV-infected person; or iv. If one thinks that or doesn't know that a healthy-looking person can have HIV.
Please may you suggest the variables form DHS dataset to be used while dealing with the above indicators? Thank You in advance.

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
I need some clarification. Did you define these indicators yourself, or are you working with definitions from some other source? If from some other source, can you give a link or reference? Are you asking for Stata code to construct these indicators?
