Hi all,

I have a similar question. I am using Cambodia DHS datasets 2014. I am seeking help.

I would like to test differences between sexually active men and women with regard to different variables (age, education, residence, wealth, occupation, PTMCT knowledge, HIV stigma...etc.). I will use basic inferential statistical tests (chi-square, fisher, t-test or wilcoxon) to detect the differences between the two groups.

The IR dataset (women) contains: v005 (sample weight), v021 (sampling unit) and v022 (strata). The MR (men) contains: mv005, mv021 and mv022. These variables are needed to declare survey design in STATA when doing separate men and women analyses.

After appending/merging, what is the appropriate weight approach I should use to achieve my goal mentioned above? Please advise!

Thanks
Pie
