Thank you so much! I really appreciate your response.

I'm definitely considering suest and sureg, it's very helpful to read that you would recommend these! I am generating the stratumid before merging. Great idea re. appending 001 or 002 to the stratum ID.

Two final questions:

1. Am I accounting for the non-independence of children within households correctly using hv002 as follows:

egen stratumid=group(hv024 hv025)
svyset [pw=hv005], psu(hv021) strata(stratumid) singleunit(centered) || hv002

2. Any advice on how to generate PSU identifiers? Could I also add 001 or 002 depending on the survey here? Or, just add the survey year itself to end of the PSU id (or even the stratum ID)?

Thanks again!
