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

I recommend that you always add the "singleunit" option to svyset. There are three versions: centered, scaled, and certainty. It makes very little difference which one you use. I usually used the centered option. That is, you pick one of the following three versions of svyset, for example:

svyset v021 [pweight=v005], strata(stratumid) singleunit(centered)
svyset v021 [pweight=v005], strata(stratumid) singleunit(scaled)
svyset v021 [pweight=v005], strata(stratumid) singleunit(certainty)
