Dear Tom,

Thank you very much for your swift reply. Yes, I am doing a merge of the PR and KR files. I just looked at B5 and B16. Looking at B5, there are 218 children not alive and looking at B16, there are 25 missing values + the 218 children that have died.
However, when I merge these files I am looking at 1329 missing values for HV005. So B5 and B16 do not explain the total number of missing HV005 cases. Is there anything else I could check for now? It looks like it only merges the HV005 data for one child of the same household. For example, I have checked some cases and they all are alive and they live in the household of the respondent, but, these are all cases of which another child comes from the same household (equal cluster and household number). So, the first child has both the sample weight for children and household, but the second child from the same household only has a sampling weight for children, and nothing for household.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again and kind regards,
Rachel Kelders
