All of the weight variables that start with an S are state weights. Below are the state weights for households, the household weights for the men's subsample, and weights for the woman's sample, the domestic violence subsample, and the man's sample.

Household weight-SHWEIGHT
Household weight-man subsample-SHMWEIGHT
Woman's sample weight-SWEIGHT
Domestic violence weight-SDWEIGHT
Man's sample weight-SMWEIGHT
