Hello!
I could not figure out how to generate the id variable for merging women's data with that of the wealth index data in Ethiopia DHS 2000. There is no explanation associated with the wealth file. I tried to convert v001, v002, and v003 into concatenated binary string combinations trying to create an id variable with resemblance to the whhid in the wealth file, but to no avail. Could anyone suggest how to create the id variable in the women's data in preparation for the merge process? I am using STATA.
Many thanks,
