Hello,

I'm using the birth recode data set for Ghana 2008. I've generated the appropriate sampling weights in STATA and am using svy: for descriptive statistics. I'd like to get denominators for how many children/mothers/households are in my reduced data set. When I sort by household then respondent line number, I notice that some children in the same household (with even the same mother) have different sampling weights (v005). Can anyone explain this?

Thanks!!
Lindsay
