Dear Tom,

Thank you very much for the reply! I have a few follow up questions as it is my first time doing this kind of analysis with such weights.

Yes, my aim would be to use cluster level aggregates, which in my case would be "community level domestic violence acceptance" which aggregates the acceptance of wife's beating variables.

So, if I understand correctly from your reply I could run my preliminary analysis and descriptives with just svyset v005 (without equalising it for all countries?)
and then I would have to weight my data for the 2 levels country by country. And finally expand the svyset with the 2 levels when I run my models. But like this I would have weights that are specific to each country.

But what if I want to know the "average" effect of these cluster level variables on domestic violence for all countries? And then see the separate effect?
With this I mean, what if I want to see whether community acceptance is in general a relevant moderator (for the pooled sample) and then see whether it is a particularly strong moderator for certain countries? Would I need to have a specific svyset where I have the "general" level 1 and level 2 weights?

Thank you!
