Regarding injury data [message #30059]

Hi,

I am working on merging injury data with IR, MR, and PR files. Can you help me please.
I had merged injury file with PR 1:1 in STATA by generating a new variable. for instance for injury data: gen ID_new = hhid + "_" + string(haiidx) + "_" + string(hv003)

However, on merging the dataset on self-harm shows 72 counts instead of 86 (originally in injury dataset). Why is that so?

Please help me!

Hi Janet,

Thank you for replying.
I am using NP_2022_DHS dataset. I need your help combining NPAI82DT with NPPR82DT and NPIR82DT NPMR82DT. I combined AI with PR files.But found some missing data for self-harm.In AI files the varibale hai4 gives 86 self-harm cases. But combining with PR files it is reduced to 72. I don't know why.
Can you give the right code of combining AI files with PR< IR and MR dataset please.
I am using STATA and R for merging.

I want the data related to table 18.6

I also want to link the self-harm data to one question (Thoughts that you would be better off dead or of
hurting yourself in some way of PHQ-9.

I have checked the PR data file and it shows 74 injury dataset. But in Injury data set it shows 86 self-harm cases. I don't know why that is the case. Can you help me with this?
