I looking at tobacco usage and tuberculosis in adults in India 2015-2016. I have two questions.

1. I am using merged data from India 2015-2016. I have successfully combined the HIV, men, women and household members tables together. I thought to use mv005 and v005 as weights and just combining them together. Should I use the hv005 as my weight instead? I wasn't sure which one to use.

2. I am using SAS and after watching the video provided by DHS on how to set up the code I attempted to weight the data. The problem was that my numbers were still about the same as the original numbers. The weights were not giving the whole population of India. I put the code below that I was using. I wasn't sure what I was missing.

proc surveyfreq data=women;
table v025;
weight wgt; (v005/1000000)
cluster v021;
stratum v022;
run;

Thanks so much.
