Hello,

I am working with the Senegal DHS and would like to produce recent regionally representative estimates. I am aware the 2012-13 and 2014 surveys are individually representative at the zonal level, and combined are additionally representative at the regional level. When combining these, can the wealth quintiles be used as they are, or would they need to be recalculate on the combined sample?

Second, is it at all possible to combine 2014 and 2015 surveys to obtain regionally representative estimates? Or can the 2015 survey only be grouped with the 2016 survey?

Many thanks,
Francesca
