Hi. This is my very first tiem to use DHS datasets. My research question involves comparing aspects of antenatal care between 2 time periods (2017 & 2022) using multivariable logistic regression. I noticed that the 2022 DHS introduced a new Pregnancy file (GR) while the 2017 only has Individual and Birth Files. My questions are:
1) Will i be able to obtain the same details about antenatal care from the 2022 DHS Individual (IR) File that were present in the 2017 DHS?
2) How do i merge the 2017 and 2022 datasets in Stata so that logistic regression can be done?
3) I also noticed that there is a difference in the selection of women asked to provide information about antenatal care between the 2 datasets: for 2017, women with births in the past 5 years (B19<60) were selected but for 2022, only women with births in the past 2 years (P19<24). Is it possible for me to limit the 2017 data for my analysis on antenatal care to just those with B19<24?
Thank you for your help.
