Following is a response from our Senior Sampling Technician, Ruilin Ren:

It is true that in the appendix A of the final report, we did not provide descriptions on the VA weighting because the VA data is a separate data from the main data set. But a sampling weight was calculated for the VA data based on the same methodology. The variable name is QWEIGHT. All representative analysis should use the sampling weight. For the VA data, it is a single stage cluster design, the variable QVHCLUST identifies the cluster; all households in the cluster were included in the survey. Household is identified by the variable QVHNUMBER.
