Hello
I am working with NFHS4 to look at women's variables and needed the household information for a full analysis. I have been able to successfully merge the individual and household member data (in Stata). After the merge, the total number of women is 6,99,686 which corresponds to the number of women interviewed in the NFHS4.
My question is:
1. I am assuming that multiple women from some households were interviewed. If so, how do i make sure i only have the one woman who responded to the household level questions in my analysis/ or one woman per household.
I do not want repetitions of household members- that is responses from women belonging to the same household, because i want to look at household level indicators.
My guess is listwise deletion during analysis will solve this problem to an extent, but is there any suggestion on how to choose only one respondent per HH?
Any help will be appreciated. thanks!
