Hello,

Yes you can definitely merge the HW and KR files directly, you just need to know our identifies variables.
I suggest you check this on merging: https://dhsprogram.com/data/Merging-Datasets.cfm
Also the guide in Chapter 1 had a detailed section on merging with examples using Stata and SPSS code. Search for the section "Matching and Merging Datasets" in Chapter 1 of the Guide: https://www.dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/inde x.htm#t=Analyzing_DHS_Data.htm&rhsearch=merging&rhhl term=merge&rhsyns=%20&ux=search

Best,
Shireen
