Tom and Bridgette: thanks very much for your response. I am still reconsidering my models, and would probably end up focusing on a few years.
I have a few questions re your suggestions: you advised that:
Quote:
1. When you prepare the women's file you need a line "gen sex=2", and when you prepare the men's file you need "gen sex==1"
Is the goal here to ensure that each case in the women's file has a value of 2, and each case in the men's file has a value of 1? And is the command for women, gen sex==2 or gen sex=2?
Quote:
2. For each survey you need to add a line such as "gen str20 survey_label="Kenya 2003""
I believe the purpose of this command is to generate a string variable labeling each survey ...
Quote:
and it is also helpful to have a numerical variable "survey" which is 1, 2, 3, etc.
And the goal here is to ensure that within each country, we have a variable that indicates whether it is survey 1, survey 2, survey 3.? So, for Kenya, we will have two values, 1 (2003) and 2 (2008). Is that the case?
Thanks very much, .... with much appreciation. Yawo
