Dear DHS team:

We have a question regarding the HIV dataset from NHFS-4 (2015-16) India survey.
Is HIV05 a national or state weight for HIV sample? We noticed that 2005 HIV dataset has both National HIV Weight (HIV04) and State HIV Weight (HIV05). We are wondering if 2015 dataset has both national and state too.

Another question:
For 2015 Individual (women's) dataset, what is the State women's sample weight? For 2005, we found that the state women's sample weight variable is V005S, but we couldn't find the variable for 2015.

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely,
Jasmin

Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Mianmian Yu:

Below is my response after checking with Mahmoud. Feel free to edit it when necessary.

Thank you for the questions.

1. HIV05 for NHFS-4 (2015-16) India survey is the national level weight. We don't have state level weight for this survey.
2. SV005 is the state-level women's weight for NHFS-4 (2015-16) India survey. Please note that we just discovered a typo in this variable's label, which should be corrected as "State women's sample weight". We will make this modification in the near future.

Please feel free to let us know if there are any other questions.
