Dear Forum Users,

I have found the previous threads on district identifiers very clear and helpful. Thanks! I am wondering if (sub-state) region identifiers are available in NFHS-3, which would allow identification of the geographic location at a finer level than state though not at as fine a level as district.

My understanding is that the stratified sampling entailed grouping similar districts within a state into regions. Table C-1 of the documentation at the link below specifies the set of districts that comprises each region.
http://www.measuredhs.com/pubs/pdf/FRIND3/FRIND3-VOL2.pdf

Are these region numbers embedded in the PSU identifiers or otherwise available to users?

Thank you,

Seema
