Cluster ID [message #27522]

Hi there,

I am trying to link the cluster ID from the individual recode files to the GPS files to do analyses at a level deeper than the region level provided in the individual recode files. However, the GPS data is generally only available for the later years. So, are the cluster IDs constant over time such that the GPS data for recent years could be used to link with earlier individual recode datasets?

I noticed this wasn't covered in other threads so I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Joseph

I forgot to include that cluster ID refers to v001 in the individual recode files and it's labelled as cluster number.
