IPV and multi-level weights India data [message #24282]

Hi,

I am running an analysis with India DHS data. My outcome variable is IPV/domestic violence, and my independent variable is a district-level estimate of climate-related distress. I am using a multi level model to account for the clustering of observations within districts. I have followed the guidance from DHS MR 27 to calculate the multi-level domestic violence weights. However, in India, the level-2 weights are calculated at the cluster/PSU level. Each district consists of multiple clusters/PSUs in India. Can you please provide some guidance on what weights I should be using for my models with a district level variable? And for level 1, can I use the domestic violence weight on its own (d005/1000000)? Or should I use dwt1, calculated using the procedure outlined in MR 27?

Thank you very much.

Following is response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

To construct the weights for multi-level analysis with the NFHS-4 data, you need information that is not easily available. We have a special GitHub location for this:
https://github.com/DHSProgram/DHS-Analysis-Code/tree/main/Mu ltilevel_Weights. You will see a folder for India. Please check that. If you still have questions, please let us know.

We now have repositories of code written in Stata and SPSS available on Github. Please reference these code repositories as a resource for code for matching or calculating DHS indicators. The code repositories can be found at:
