Dear all, I want to include some variables like contraceptives use and prenatal care using clusters level. How do I go about it?
Thank you so much

If you use Stata, you can just:
egen ClusterX = mean(X), by(cluster)
And then include "ClusterX" as a variable in your regressions.
I'm sure there is very similar code for creating sub-group means in other programs too. And there are some inference (p-value) issues down the road, but if you cluster your regressions at the level of your clustered X, you should be fine. Unless I missed something...
