Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

My apologies for a typo in my previous response. I should not have said v025, which is place of residence (1=urban, 2=rural). State is given by v024. The following merge will work. You need to remove from the BR file the cases with b16=0 or ".", which identify children who have died or left the household. The cases you want are those with _merge=3. You will want to include variables other than those I have included.

use v0* b* using "...IABR7AFL.DTA", clear
drop if b16==0 | b16==.
rename v024 state
rename v001 cluster
rename v002 hh
rename b16 line
sort state cluster hh line
save ...IABRtemp.dta, replace

use hv0* hvidx using "...IAPR7AFL.DTA", clear
rename hv024 state
rename hv001 cluster
rename hv002 hh
rename hvidx line
sort state cluster hh line

merge state cluster hh line using e:\DHS\DHS_data\scratch\IABRtemp.dta
tab _merge
keep if _merge==3
