So I followed the instructions and merged the biomarker for women and SAC datasets with the PR file.

similarly i set the following svy design:

svyset hv001 [pw=wght], singleunit(centered) strata(hv023)

whereby wght is mweight/1000000

the estimates im getting for proportion of SAC males and females by region is still a little off. i've attached a screenshot of my latest output against the reported proportions within the MNS report.

Furthermore, to deal with strata with a single sampling unit I set the svy deign with singleunit(centred). I assume thats the correct way to go? what am i doing wrong?

Kind regards
