Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You can construct indicators of household structure using either the PR file (with the egen commands in Stata) or with the HR file (looping over the index for household members). If you do it with the HR file, you will have one record per household and you can merge it with the woman in the IR file by matching hv001 hv002 with v001 v002. If you do it with the PR file, the structure codes will be the same for everyone in the same household. You can reduce to one record per household with "keep if hvidx==1". Then merge with the IR file by matching hv001 hv002 with v001 v002. Let us know if you have more questions about constructing indicators of household structure. There have been some earlier forum post on this topic.
