Amira,
That is correct. The data from your joined shapefile (the one that has the info from the DHS GIS file PLUS the district names) is in the file with extension DBF (you can open this in Excel).

You can get the DBF data into Stata following these steps: http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/faq/odbc.htm or what is described here (the part about -insheet-): http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2010-05/msg01004.html

or you can do what I do and open DBF in Excel-->Select all-->Copy, open Stata, type edit in the command window and paste into the data editor window. It should ask you whether you want to treat the first row as variable names, in which case, you should choose that option.

Note: When you open the DBF file in Excel, make sure all of the rows have a value for DHSCLUST so you can merge it in Stata.
