Dear DHS FOrum colleagues,

I am also using the same dataset, DHS2005_06 India,using Stata 13 and looking at care seeking outcomes for diseases in children. Each Child is my unit of analysis and I would like to be sure that I am declaring the data as survey data properly before running descriptive analysis and regression. I have two questions.

1. have put the V005 as the weight like this (see under), does that make sense? Is that enough?

svyset _n [pweight=v005], vce(linearized) singleunit(missing)

2.If I want to account for intracluster correlation or household correlation, can I use another command?Should I do it?
Thanks, Luciana
