		Hello, 
I am trying to merge the community file (BDSQ) with the individual recode file (BDIR). I have merged it using the cluster number (COCLUST and v001) in the respective files. Is this the right way to do it? Can I analyze individual information with respect to the cluster? For example, if i were to examine association between birth weight and a specific community characteristic, could i do it using the merged file?  
 
Any suggestion would be very helpful. 
 
Thank you.
