Hello,

I have come across numerous helpful responses regarding the creation of family or household structures using the Person file (PR file) from DHS data. However, this approach typically involves using the 'collapse' command in Stata, which removes other variables from the dataset and ultimately leads to the household sample size.

I would like to inquire if it is possible to create a family structure, taking into account the age and sex of the members, using the Household file (HR).

Thank you in advance for your assistance and insights.
