I am trying to understand the effects of domestic violence on certain health indicators in India. Health indicators I try to analyse include child mortality, child health, and maternal health. I am using NFHS 2-5 for this purpose. I tried to merge BR and IR files to have the women's DV characteristics with child data, but the exact merges turned to 0. I am confused here.
I learned that the BR file has five births, but the IR has 20. Is this creating the matching problem?
How could I navigate this? Can you help me sort this out? I want the DV characteristics of the mother to understand the health indicators. If someone could hint me with the STATA code, it would be a great help.
Can I create a child mortality dummy using this code from DHS GitHub (link)? Also, can this code generate a child mortality dummy from the KR or IR file, or can it only use the BR file?
Thank You
