Hi,

I am working on the Malawian DHS 2015/16. I am interested in getting a better understanding about determinants of adult mortality. I have calculated adult mortality as described in the post by Trevor.

I have estimated the sisterhood mortality in specific socio-economic subgroups. However, I do find odd results especially when linking household wealth and residence to mortality rates. Basically the richer households are, the higher is the probability of sisterhood mortality.

I was wondering if there is additional information in the respective questionnaire that allows identifying were the sisters/brothers actually lived, if they were in the same household or in others. Unfortunately it appears that most of the information that would help here was not collected in Malawi. Is there a way to connect the sibling information to the household roster information?
