Good day,
I am just wondering what is the SAS syntax for merging the couples record (CR) and individual record (IR) files. Am using the couples record of 2016 and also Individual record data-set of 2016. am trying to evaluate the male involvement in the uptake of Ante-Natal Care the primary outcome which is ANC visits is not available in Couples 2016 Malawi data set.

(CR + IR)

Thank you!

Following is a response from DHS Senior Sampling Specialist, Mahmoud Elkasabi:

Below is the needed SAS code

data MWIR;
set 'C:\Users\......................\MWIR7HFL.sas7bdat';
RUN;

proc sort data=MWIR;
by V001 V002 V003; run;

data MWCR;
set 'C:\Users\.......................\MWCR7HFL.sas7bdat';
RUN;

proc sort data=MWCR;
by V001 V002 V003; run;

Data MWMI;
merge MWIR MWCR;
by V001 V002 V003;
run;
