Yes please, I have been eagerly waiting for your response. I have been in touch with Bridgette and she had assured me of a response.

I also decided to try other ways to check my estimates. I think the problem is in the weighting. I say this because I tried to calculate simple estimates on background characteristics like age group, marital status as shown in Table 3.1 on Page 51 of the report. My proportions and unweighted counts were an exact match but not the weighted counts- they were way off.

Thank you

Deepali
