Dear DHS specialists,

When I have using a multilevel linear regression models to analyse birth weight (continuous), I am getting large coefficients for my results (see below) This can be seen even after applying for weights.Is this fine? or is there any way I can get change this? I checked the multicollinearity and also are fine..
