Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
The information you are looking for is in the PR file; your merge needs to include the PR file, as well as the AR, IR, and MR files. The key variables you need from the PR file are ha63 and hv117 for women and hb63 and hv118 for men.
ha63 and hb63 have these categories:
. label list HA63
HA63:
1 blood taken
2 not present
3 refused
4 sample not tested/lost/damaged/insufficient
5 not enough dbs to complete protocol
6 other
You can tell whether a woman was interviewed or not from the PR / IR merge. A woman in the PR file who is eligible for the women's interview has hv104=2 and hv117=1. If that woman is found in the IR file, then she was interviewed. However, if she does not merge with the IR file, then she was not interviewed. Similarly, a man in the PR file who is eligible for the men's interview has hv104=1 and hv118=1. If that man is found in the MR file, then he was interviewed, but if he does not merge with the MR file, then he was not interviewed.
The steps are a little tricky. Let us know if you need help matching table 13.2.
