Thank you so much for your reply.

Just to make sure I understood it correctly. If I merge the data from KR, MR and IR files and exactly get the information on the parents of the children and do my analysis. Though the sample size would drastically reduce to almost 1/6 of the total sample I can generate tables and do regression by applying mv005 weights. Can I still get results that will be representative? or it doesn't matter for causal inference for it to be representative?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
