Dear DHS Forum,

I am currently working on an analysis using the NFHS-5 dataset, specifically focusing on the North-East India region. I have the individual women's file, but it does not include regional-specific weights for North-East India. I would like to ensure that my analysis is representative of this specific region.

Could you please provide guidance on the following:

1. Are regional-specific weights available for the North-East India region in the NFHS-5 dataset, and if so, where can I find them?

2. If regional-specific weights are not available, is it recommended to use the national weights for regional-level analyses? Are there any adjustments or considerations I should keep in mind while doing this?

3. Are there any best practices or additional resources for conducting sub-national analyses using NFHS-5 data?

Thank you!
