Dear Admin and members, I need some help. I am working on a project where my main outcome variables are;
Type of cooking fuel hv226
Exposure to tobacco smoke in the hone hv241
Exposure to biomass smoke (derived as Tab hv241 if solid==1) where solid is those using biomass fuels for cooking.
I have currently done this using the PR file, Should I use the HR file instead?
My challenge is with some of the variables that are my independent variables;
How is wealth measured in the PR file? Is every individual member measured or is it household wealth? I went through the do file but I didnt understand.
If my aim to study the prevalence of the above outcomes and describe their variation with sex, age, wealth quintile, province etc? should I use PR or HR file? I am confused.
I am also looking at smoking in men and women. Should I merge them? In my initial analysis, I had done it separately.
