Hi,
Thankyou for your reply. I looked at the pattern of missing values and realized that it was a structural thing. Only few women who were selected for domestic violence section were asked about women empowerment questions. Thus, I reduced my sample to currently married women who gave the interview for domestic violence section i.e the 1/6 households(v044=1, v502=1 - because a few of my variables were only asked to currently married women), could you please tell me how I should adjust the sample weights for this. Should i use the d005 (weight for domestic violence section since v044 =1 implies women who were selected and interviewed for domestic violence section) as my weight or v005(sample weight for women) as my weight and should I use the all-woman factor for weighting since I want estimates for all women and not just currently married women. If yes, then which all woman factor should I be using and how? I am pretty confused with the weights thing since I am considering women from the domestic violence sample, but the questions I am interested in are not codes as v744, 743 etc and not d-coded (part of domestic violence record).

Best,
Pankhuri
