The data file was constructed by merging several datasets. The household dataset was taken as the master dataset. The household dataset contains three types of data: village-level data, household-level data and child-level data. Observations are at the level of individual children, thus analyses based on child level variables do not require manipulation of the dataset (N=21,773). Analyses based on village-level data require the use of an indicator variable: village_level, where 1=one observation from a village and 0=duplicate observations. The indicator variable village_level was constructed by tagging one observation for each unique village identification number (hc1) in the dataset (N=287). Analyses based on household-level data require the use of an indicator variable: household_level, where 1=one observation from a household and 0=duplicate observations. The indicator variable household_level was constructed by tagging one observation for each unique household identification number (hc2) in the dataset (N=8,467).
The school wave 1 data were merged onto the household data using school ID numbers (matching sch2 from the school wave 1 data and ed6eco from the household data). Merges were successful for 7,675 individual children in the household dataset. School-level analyses on wave 1 school data require the indicator variable school_levelw1. This indicator variable was constructed by tagging one observation from each unique school identification number (sch2) in the school wave 1 dataset (N=278).
The school wave 2 data were merged onto the household data using household and child ID numbers (matching num_na and nuelev from the school wave 2 data and hc2 and hl1 from the household data). Merges were successful for 7,316 individual children in the household dataset, which included 282 children who were reported as not currently attending school. These cases are missing data for variables ed2niv through ed20. School-level analyses on wave 2 school data require the indicator variable school_levelw2. This indicator variable was constructed by tagging one observation from each unique school identification number (ecoleid) in the school wave 2 dataset (N=284).
Applicant data were also merged onto the dataset by matching village ID numbers. These variables came from the applications villages submitted to be part of the BRIGHT school program. These variables are region, province and department. Region is unique data in the dataset, while province and department are text variables that should mirror hc6 and hc7 respectively.
Additionally, these eight variables were merged from other datasets. All are village level variables.

All variables in the dataset can be found in the codebook. Entries for each variable include the variable name, variable label, question text, universe, and total non-missing responses. Some variable listings contain descriptions, construct specifications, ranges, frequencies, means, and/or standard deviations, depending on the type of variable.
To help users, variables are listed here based on the level at which the data were collected, along with the indicator variable that allows use of these variables.
