Following is a response by Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

I know of two ways to attach cluster-level compositional variables (such as proportion of the women in the cluster who are in the bottom wealth quintile) to the individual records. The first is to (a) construct the compositional variable with "collapse....., by(v001)" and then (b) merge that cluster-level file back to the individual-level data. The other possibility would be to use some of the "egen....,by(v001)" commands. I suggest that you try one or the other of these approaches. Let us know if you have trouble.
