Dear DHS analysts:
Hello! We have few questions regarding using India CR (couple) dataset for 2005-06 and 2015-16 cycles.
1. We are trying to find prevalence of IPV in Couples Data (CR dataset) in India from 2005 and 2015 dataset.
We used D005 (domestic violence weight) and divided by 1000000. When we ran the analyses, the number of weighted observations was SMALLER than the number of observations (unweighted). In order to generate nationally represented estimate for IPV, what do we do for D005? Do we still divide it by 1 million or smaller number?
2. When we are using men's weight (MV005) to run other bivariate and regression analyses using the CR (couples), do we also divided the MV005 by 6 decimals place(1,000,000) to adjust the weights? How do we operationalize the weighting? We are using stratum and clusters as well as creating adjusted weights for MV005 divided by 1,000,000. We want to make sure that we are generating nationally represented estimate for couples data.
Thank you,
Jasmin
