Good day,
I hope to find you well.

I wanted to ask for some recommendations and help;
I am interested to know if parents from certain characteristics plan the pregnancies to fit or avoid certain events.

My idea is to;
1. Merge either
a) IR with MR, or
b) CR with IR
--> CR only contains couples, but I would also like to have single mothers or women whose husbands/partners are not in the dataset.
Questions: what would you suggest to merge?
If: a) Do you have a code for STATA to merge IR and MR to create couples and keep women without? (Guide to DHS Statistics recommends using CR, so there is no more info. on how to merge IR and MR)
If: b) Could you help me with my STATA code to do the CR and IR merge (see attached file) to avoid duplicates, please?

2. The resulting merge, add the wealth index from HR
For this I have not started the coding.

Thank you very much for your help and time.
Regards,
AJM
