Hello,

I have begun exploring the new India 2015-2016 DHS dataset from India.
I was wondering if households (or individuals) can be followed using the India DHS (NFHS) data from survey to survey.
For example, can households or participants be identified in the 2005-2006 India survey and then also identified and followed in the 2015-2016 India survey?

If so, what variable can be used to link these households or individuals?

Thanks for any help you can provide in advance!

Best
Leo
