Dear DHS Forum Community,

I am currently working on an analysis of stunting among children under 5 years old at the household level. To enhance my analysis, I have merged the "mergeChild01_17_parents"(merge children 0-17 in the PR file with ALL the data about their mothers and fathers and ALL the data in the BR file) file with the HR and KR file and also and ensure that household characteristics are well preserved in master output.

Could you advise which variables I should consider when analyzing stunting at the household level? Specifically, I am seeking guidance on which variables in these datasets are critical for accurately assessing and analyzing stunting among under-5 children.

Any insights into relevant variables or best practices for analyzing stunting in this context would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
