Thanks, this was very helpful information.

Based on this response, frequencies across sick child observations should be weighted (pweight=clientwt) to account for unequal probabilities of selection given differences in client volumes on the interview date. Standard errors also need to account for data clustering at the provider level (based on a unique provider ID created by joining facil and provno numbers). Finally, the sample should also include only children/caregivers participating in both the observation and exit interview.

Is this a correct understanding?

Thanks again for your guidance on these various questions. It is greatly appreciated. SPA is such a wonderful resource!

With many thanks
Emily
