Dear Shireen,

Thank you very much for your reply and the information. Maybe this is already clear, but I have to make sure that I don't misunderstand this. Do you mean that I should use the domestic violence weight for all variables, even variables such as women's employment? For example:

reg employment X [pweight=d005]
reg household_decision_making X [pweight=d005]
reg domestic_violence X [pweight=d005]

or using separate weight for each

reg employment X [pweight=v005]
reg household_decision_making X [pweight=?]
reg domestic_violence X [pweight=d005]

In the latter case. If that is the correct way, what should I use as a weight for household decision-making, that only includes married women?

When I use svyset, I need to specify the weight. So then, I should use [pweight=d005], right?

Thanks for your help!

Kind regards,
Jennie
