Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

If you want to merge household-level data with the CR file, then you do not need to use hvidx. From the household file, the identifier would be hv001 hv002 hv024 and from the CR file you would match that with EITHER v001 v002 v024 OR mv001 mv002 mv024. (In the CR file v001=mv001, v002=mv002, and v024=mv024.) For the household file, use either the HR version or the PR version. It would probably be easier to construct the household structure variables with the PR file and collapse it to one record per household.
