Dear User,
Here is a reponse from one of our experts, Dr. Wenjuan Wang:
To analyze child (under five) stunting, the child dataset (KR file)should be used. Mother's characteristics and many household variables can also be found in this dataset. In rare cases, when a variable needed is not included in the child file, users could do a merge with women's file (IR file) or household file (HR) to get those variables.
Please refer to http://dhsprogram.com/data/Using-Datasets-for-Analysis.cfm for some useful guidance for analyzing DHS data.
