Unique identifiers/duplicate entries in DHS Pakistan Data [message #3811]

Hi,

I am using the DHS Pakistan child recode data to make a panel dataset using STATA software. In the data however, there seem to be duplicate observations. I used the household, cluster and line number as the unique identifiers but even then there are some duplicate observations.

Is it possible that the same child from a household in a cluster may be interviewed twice at the same time and the information is included twice in the dataset as well?

I am having trouble figuring out why there will be duplicate entries for individuals in the dataset.

Thanks,

Naina
