Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Quote:
Your outcome is in both the KR and BR files, but I recommend using the KR file, not the BR. Virtually all of the IR variables are included in the BR and KR files. You should not need to do any merges.

The results from Stata, SPSS, and SAS should agree when you are using the same procedure. Please inform me of any specific example where they do not agree.
