Here is a response from one of our sampling experts, Dr. Ruilin Ren:
Unfortunately, neither of the two variables alone, HV022 and HV023, describes correctly the sampling stratification of the Nigeria DHS 2008 (NDHS 2008). The NDHS 2008 used HV023 crossing HV025 as stratification, means, each state was stratified into two strata, an urban stratum and a rural stratum. We have some problems in the recode data files for the stratification variables HV022/V022/MV022 for surveys earlier than 2009. The content we put in the variable was often not consistent with the label of the variable. This situation has been improved in later surveys. For the case of NDHS 2008, please use Hv023xHV025 as stratification.
Thank you!
