Hi,
I am using the 2011 Stata data set for Uganda and it appears to be missing any data for the HV022 Sample Strata variable. Without this I am not sure how I can apply the survey weighting, is there a reason why it is missing or should I be using another variable?
Thanks for your help,
Rachel

Dear User,
Here is a response from Senior Statistician, Dr. Ruilin Ren,
Quote:
Variable V022 is at individual level, HV022 is at household level, but the two variables have the same contents. In older survey data sets, HV022/V022 might be codes for the paired clusters used for sampling error calculation, even the label of the variable is sampling stratum. Checking the frequency of the variable will help you understand if it is paired clusters (HV022/V022 has a large number of categories) or not. In recent surveys, HV022/V022 is labeled as "sample strata used for sampling errors", it is actually the sampling stratum used in sample selection. Another variable HV023/V023 is labeled as "sample strata used for sample selection", it is actually the same thing as HV022/V022 without exception. It might be the case that not all of the two variables are coded, use the one which is coded. Again, you can check the frequency of the variable. In any case, if you use HV025/V025 crossing HV024/V024, you will get the correct stratification in most of the cases, or it is close enough to the true stratification which will be good enough for all analysis purposes where stratification information is requested.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to post again. Thank you!

Hi Luke,
I looked online and found this link for the UNHS 2010 report: http://www.ubos.org/UNHS0910/unhs200910.pdf. If you look at the sampling section, it says that :
The UNHS 2009/10 sample was designed to allow reliable estimation of key
indicators for the Uganda, rural-urban, and separately for ten sub regions. A
two-stage stratified sampling design was used. At the first stage,
Enumeration Areas (EAs) were grouped by districts and rural-urban
location; then drawn using Probability Proportional to Size (PPS). At the
second stage, households which are the Ultimate Sampling Units were
drawn using Systematic Sampling.
It looks like they used district (not sure if this is same as region?) and rural/urban for their stratification. Where were you looking where they said they didn't use rural/urban?
