Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Quote:

When you use the weights (v005, etc.), the sample is representative of the full population. Sub-sampling the sample is then equivalent to sampling from the full population. The sub-sample you describe, with weights, will be representative of the sub-population you want to describe. There is no need for re-weighting.
