It is mentioned in "Demonstration of How to Weight DHS Data in Stata" that when using couples' information one should use Men's weight as they have higher nonresponse rates. I am studying the effect on child health and want to use the sample in which the information for both the parents (like education, age, employment, etc.) are available (which is approximately 15% of the total sample in the KR file).
My concerns are:
1. Can we use this sample and still get results that are representative?
2. The weights that need to be used is men's weights or women's weight as mentioned earlier they have low response rates than women's.
Kindly help me out.
