Hallo everyone,

I am using 2014 Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) data (DTA, FL) for Malawi.

I would like to explore under-five malaria outcomes (hml32) vis-a-vis women's (or mothers') characteristics i.e. religion (v130) and access to malaria messages (s507).

I have successfully merged the MIS data files (MWIR71DT, MWPR71DT, MWKR71DT) using the following command "merge m:1 varlist using filename, generate(newvarl)"

However, when i tabulate malaria outcomes (hml32) and some women's characteristics (i.e. s507 or v130) I get the message "no observations".

Is there something I am not doing right? Kindly help.

Zachepa
