Nang Rong Projects Person Identifier
To
uniquely identify a person using the original identifier schemes in the
Nang Rong Projects data archive usually requires a combination of
identifiers,
which might include
the village
number and/or household identifier plus an individual's CEP code from
the
household roster. The schemes are solid and reliable, but
remembering the various combinations across the
different survey years can sometimes be a bit of a
challenge. Given this challenge, we decided to construct a new
person identifier variable. The single variable, called NRPID,
uniquely identifies
each person in the
entire Nang Rong Projects data archive. The
variable has been added to a "person identifier" data set that contains
all individuals with all of their original
identifiers. In order to use this new person
identifier variable, users will need to merge the person identifier
data set to the individual-level data files in the Nang Rong data
archive. Please follow the links below to examine the person
identifier documentation and programming examples.
