Hello!

I'm having a little difficulty merging the Birth's and Children's Recode with the Household Member Recode (I need both individual and household variables). I can easily merge the individual with the household member recode but is having a hard time for births/children.

I am interested particularly in using individual and household data for ANC and Delivery location (Births + Household member recode) and immunization history of children aged 1-2 years from the last interview (Children + household member recode).

I'm using the variables v001 v002 v003 (hv001 hv002 hvidx) (as with the individual -> household recode) but could not merge the data sets =/ I used http://dhsprogram.com/data/Merging-Datasets.cfm as a reference but STATA is giving me results saying that the entries do not match.

Thanks for your help!


Karlo
