Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
For children under 18, hv112 is the line number of the mother and hv114 is the line number 5. For children under 5, hc51 is the line number of the caregiver. Usually, for children under 5, hc51=hv112; the mother is the caregiver. You could start by looking at how often hc51 equals hv112 or hv114. If the mother is not in the household, then hv112 equals 0 or NA, and similarly for the father and hv114. Below is Stata code that should be helpful.
For your final question, I would look at the DV variables in the IR file and construct a reduced household-level file for which the ID codes are v001 v002. You then do a merge that matches v001 and v002 with hv001 and hv002 in the child file constructed below. Every child in the same household would get the same household-level code. Some children in the PR file are in a household for which there will not be any domestic violence data. It's a little more complex to merge the DV data from the mother or from the caregiver (if the caregiver is not the mother, but is another woman in the household and received the DV module). I would recommend household-level DV variables. Good luck--an interesting research topic.
