Hello,

When using household data (HR file) or population data (PR file) you use the hv005 weight but you need to divide this by 1 million.

This YouTube video explains about the different weights in DHS data and how to apply them in SPSS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNg8HD_lKow&t=88s

I also wanted to share another resource. We have standardized code to produce all DHS indicators in SPSS which is organized into chapters based on topic. When you go to the chapter of interest you can see "tables" syntax files that tabulates these indicators while applying weights. If you use this code, please be sure to read the notes in the readme file and the main file.

Thank you.

Best,
