Hi Trevor,
I have a question regarding merging PR and KR recodes. I am working with the Rwanda DHS 2019/20 dataset. My focus is on two aspects: household living arrangements (available in the PR recode) and child health indicators (available in the KR recode).
For the living arrangements, I utilized the STATA codes provided by DHS, which are accessible in the DHS indicators. I created a sub-sample based on these codes and subsequently merged it with the original PR recode.
Following this, I merged the newly created dataset with the KR recode. However, at the end of the merging process, I noticed that I am losing one category.
Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?
Thank you
