I am interested in using similar covariates for the child mortality indicators such as residence, county, wealth index, mother's highest educational level, mother's age at birth, birth order, preceding birth interval and birth size for nutritional outcomes that are constructed from the PR data file. I have tried to map them as follows: residence (hv025), county(hv024), wealth index (hv270), mother's highest educational level (hc68), birth order (hc64), preceding birth interval(hc63). I couldn't map mother's age at birth and birth size. I would appreciate guidance on two areas:
a) Is the mapping correct?
b) Can I use the IR or BR datasets to generate variables on mother's age at birth and birth size?
Thanks in advance!
