Dear Emily,

Here is a response from Senior Sampling Statistician, Ruilin Ren, and Data Processing Specialist, Claudia Marchena.

For sick child interviews or any other type of client, the total number of clients present at the facility on the day of the interview and the total number of clients that ended up being interviewed are taken in consideration to calculate weights. Both questionnaire of the interviewed client (the observation of the consultation and the exit interview) must be completed in order to have a weight for the client, otherwise 0 is assumed. The base weight for the clients is the provider's weight because the clients were selected among those their provider was observed (interviewed ).

Please let us know if this answers your question.
Thanks,
Sarah-DHS
