Thanks for the response.

The DHS reports for 1999/2000 ( http://dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-fr119-dhs-fin al-reports.cfm) and 2004 ( http://dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-fr165-dhs-fin al-reports.cfm) do not describe the stratification process explicitly. In the 2007 and 2011 reports, they explain that stratification is done by division and then rural / urban (with further classifications). The 2004 report suggests that stratification was done similarly to 2007 (by division, rural, three types of urban) but I would prefer to be certain. And the 2000 report does not provide enough information.

In the 2007 and 2011 data, the variables for strata (v022 and v023) are correct (based on division and city corp/other urban/rural.

I hope that a DHS person who knows the BD surveys will respond.

Thanks,

Anna
