Thanks again for the notes,

I will double check the presence of provider serial number data in the client data file (I got it in the provider data file)

Moreover, I have now taken the impression that the descriptive statistics to characterize the facilities and (when necessary the providers/clients) need to be done before merging Does my understanding sounds correct?

While doing merging all the three, is it okay to do a step by step merging. This means first merge facility and provider (i.e facprov) and then to the client (facprov Vs client) as the final intention is to conduct analysis at the client level

I have also seen that the weighting variable is available in all the three datasets. However, I am unsure which of the weighing variable is important after merging (my expectation was that all the three weighting variables maybe similar). In this regard, is it okay to use gen wt = wtvar/1000000

I highly appreciate your assistance
