Hi,

I am a student, and I'm analyzing the the 2019 Sierra Leon data set to identify the determinants associated with a higher risk of early childhood overweight and obesity (6 months to U5 only). Because I'm interested in child obesity (6months to U5 only) I started coding my variables of interests in the SLKR7ADT data set. However, I can't find many of the variables I'm looking for like maternal age, wealth index, handwashing observed and birth registration of children under 5. Additionally, the dataset only has variables related to the child, mother/women, and household variables, but not father/men/partner related variables. Should I be coding the male related variables in a different data set? Am I supposed to merge datasets? or is there already a dataset merged?

I have an assignment deadline approaching, but I'm stumped on what to do. Please help!

Please help!
