Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Hi Lorretta--This used to be a very annoying problem with Stata, but beginning with Stata 13, as I recall, a "singleunit" option was added to svyset. After "strata (v022)", with a space but not a comma, add any one of the following three specifications:

singleunit(centered)
singleunit(scaled)
singleunit(certainty)

I have tried all of them and there are usually differences, but very small differences, between the three options. I usually use the first one but don't have very good reasons for doing that. Maybe someone else can give a reason for picking one over the others.

Thanks!
