Hello,
I am using the 2019 Ethiopian Mini DHS data to assess factors predicting child health outcomes. So I would like to merge child characteristics based on household members (PR) file to the characteristics of the specific mothers of the children based on women record (IR). I now how to merge simply PR files and IR files based on the identifier variables in IR(v001, v002, v003)and PR(hv001 hv002 hvidx)files. But I do not know how to merge the under 5 child's health outcome with characteristics of his/her mother (like age and mother's bmi etc) in the same row. Remember that one mother may have more than one under 5 child. So how can I link the information of children to their specific mothers correctly using PR and IR files?
