Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:


You should use the PR file, not the HR file. The PR file has one record per individual in the household, rather than one record per household, and is much easier to use. In the KR file, the id variables v001, v002, b16 should be matched with hv001, hv002, and hvidx in the PR file. Some of the variables you want may already be in the KR file. However, I just looked and it appears that some or most of them are not. Only 65 children are reported to have symptoms of jaundice. This may not be enough cases for a useful analysis.
