Thanks so much!

OK so I guess my follow-up question would be - so how do I deal with that because I can't drop those observations otherwise my variances will be biased right? But if I keep them, even my point estimates will be off. I'm thoroughly confused now. Is there a syntax/command for delineating my sample so as not to include those not-applicables in my model estimation?

I'm already working with the svy, sub pop: command since I'm actually only interested in a subpopulation of married women. So is there a command that would be supported by the above syntax which I can use to exclude the not-applicable? Or is it something I would have to take care of prior to weighting my data?

Many thanks.
