Hello,

Following up on this question, which I posted under a different user name in February (I had to re-register).

I'd be so grateful for help with this matter. To give a little more context, I'm trying to compare a cohort of HIV-positive patients from clinics in Rwanda, Burundi, and the DRC to the population-representative samples captured by the DHS to determine whether the cohort is representative of the HIV-positive populations in these countries in terms of several variables, including sex, age, BMI, marital status, pregnancy status, etc.

Could you let me know if the HIV05 variable is the correct weight variable to use for this purpose? Please see my previous message in this thread as well.

Thanks so much,
Anna
