Dear User,
A response from Dr. Shea Rutstein:
Quote:

Wealth index syntax files with qh variables are based on the raw data files. Those with HV variables are based on the recode data files. Since the recode files are not the same as the raw data files, one cannot just rename the variables even though some are not much different. If the variables begin with qh, the raw data file should be used. Once the wealth index score and quintile variables are produced, they can be merged with the standard recode files. The values of the variables is the same for the household data and for the individual data files.

Thank you!
