Hello,

I am working with the 2008 Egypt DHS data, and I have to merge the dataset containing questions about AIDS and HIV (this is dataset EGOD5AFL) to EGIR5AFL, which contains information on circumcision, fertility and family planning. This is the STATA code I am using:

use "/Users/maria/Dropbox/Egypt DHS/Raw Data/Egypt DHS/2008/EGOD5ADT/EGOD5AFL.DTA", clear

rename hpsu v001
ren hnumber v002
ren wline v003

sort v001 v002 v003

merge 1:1 v001 v002 v003 using "/Users/maria/Dropbox/Egypt DHS/Raw Data/Egypt DHS/2008/EGIR5ADT/EGIR5AFL.DTA", force
tab _merge

However, using this code I get a pretty low matching rate, only equal to 17%.

Is there something I am getting wrong?

Thank you.

Best,

Maria
