Dear all,
I am using the DHS datasets for the Uganda survey year 2006 (dataset UGIR52DT) and 2011 (dataset UGIR61DT) and also the GPS data (UGGE53FL) and (UGGE61FL). I have tried to search in the forum for an answer to the following questions but I didn't find the specific answer and explanation I was looking for. I wonder if you have any suggestions:
1. Is it possible to match DHS clusters from the 2006 and 2011 surveys? So, I wonder if I can match the unique id from both surveys? Do they have the same id?
Also, do you know where I could find information about how to use GPS datasets (for example where it says if matching id is possible?)
2. If (1) is not possible, I wonder if I could match clusters to districts. But since only information on regions are available as a variable in dataset 2011, I wonder if you have any suggestions how to do this? My thought is to match clusters to the 135 districts. I read that since clusters are geomasked it might be problematic but do you think it is possible?
Thank you for your help!
Kind regards,
Jennie

I would have thought that you needed to install the shp2dta package, but you write that it is already installed. Maybe you can uninstall and then reinstall shp2dta? (ssc install shp2dta). Another useful command is "search shp2dta". Unfortunately not sure what the problem is, maybe someone else in this forum has a suggestion. Hope you solve the problem.
Best,
Jennie
