I have a household survey that asks the head of the household several general questions and then also interviews all women of reproductive age within that household. The number of eligible women can thus range from 0 to several.
Is there a way in Epi Data to essentially tell the program that there will be 2 women's records for household A and 3 womens records in household B, and so on. I remember in Epi Info (dos) we could specify the number of "children" records in the KEY UNIQUE field (if I put a "2" on that line then after 2 "childrens' records were created then Epi would bounce back to the main rec file.
Thanks for any suggestions. Conrad
Assuming you refer to EpiData Entry 3.1, then, to my knowledge, you can only specify if it is exactly 1 record (putting the number as you do).
