Tom Pullum,

Thank you for responding. While the cluster number, household number, and line number are all present in the PR and OD dta files for 2008, the OB dta file (which contains the hepatitis C blood test results), does not contain cluster numbers and is unable to match with the PR or OD dta files due to an inability to match uniquely. Is there an alternative variable that should be used for this purpose?

I am also slightly confused on variation between h and w prefixes for variables, such as household or line (wnumber vs hnumber, wline vs hline, etc.) Could you explain this briefly?
