Thank you, Janet.

Thanks for the insight, Tom. As you rightly suspected, I want to include household-specific variables such as cooking fuel, sanitation and source of water hence merging with the PR. I tried with the HR datasets and had similar issues hence reverting to PR thinking that would address the problem Also, I am using all DHS surveys for sub-Saharan African Countries. I will follow the recommendation of merging the two datasets first and then appending them later. Given the volume of the datasets, is there an effective way of merging the individual KR with their matching PR datasets or do I have to do the merging one by one in Stata? Thank you.
