Break the Problem Down (Problem Solving)

Using the same goal problem, your job in this exercise is to build a structured plan (essentially an outline of the steps you will take to solve the problem) using house-style headings, bookmarks, and comments. You do not need to write any new Stata commands beyond headings and comments. Rather, you are building a plan, not writing full code. Do not implement the commands yet. You will start coding in Exercise 3.

1. Create high-level headings. Using the house style, create a set of major (**#) and minor (**##) sections that could solve the goal problem. The headings should: - Cover the full workflow from raw data to final dataset, and - Follow house style (**# for headings, **## for subheadings)

2. Add “mini-steps” under one heading. Pick one of your big sections (for example, “collapse to household level”) and break it down into smaller steps using comments.
