Thanks, I have access to the GE dataset as well as the DHS country survey data. In order to create an interpolated surface for e.g. diarrhea in under 5 children; am I correct that:

1 I would need to first calculate the proportion of diarrhea
2 Assign/link the proportion of diarrhea to each cluster using the cluster number (V001) variable from the recode file with the DHSCLUST variable from the geographic dataset.
3 Create interpolated surface


I need help in calculating the proportion of diarrhea for each cluster please, specifically:

A Do I need to use 'svy' command in Stata for calculating prevalence of diarrhea at the PSU/cluster level or not?

B To calculate proportion (as a percentage) of diarrhea at the cluster level, which Stata command do I need to use i.e.
- svy: proportion diarrhea, over (v001)
Or
- proportion diarrhea, over (v001)

Thank you!
