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

Yes, qhclust is the cluster ID code and is the primary sampling unit. qhnumber is the household number. Households are numbered within clusters. The variable for the sampling weight is qweight. The strata were the combinations of urban/rural and region. There does not appear to be a variable for strata in the file. You can construct svyset as follows:

egen qstrata=group(qregion qtype)
svyset qhclust [pweight = qweight], strata(qstrata) singleunit(centered)

There have been other postings on this survey, which was "Special" and does not have the usual variable names, although it had the usual kind of sampling design.
