Thank you for allowing me access to your data sets for my masters thesis. I was hoping for a couple of things that I do not see in the data. I would like to tell the difference between rural versus urban populations. Your summary seem to have this separate but the raw data does not specify? And also, I was hoping for the prevalence of hookworm or just parasites, again in rural vs urban areas? Is this something you measure?

That is great thank you so much! It it possible to look at a specific area within the rural subgroup - for example Tigray only? Oh I beg your pardon I did find that under 'region' thank you - the only part that remains unclear is which regions fall into the rural and which fall into the urban category? Similarly there seems to be a another category: 1=capital, large city 2=small city 3=town and 4=countryside - is it possible to know how the 11 regions fall into these categories?
1 more question - what does a category mean that starts with NA for example category called 'NA - de facto place of residence' ? - thank you

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
The urban rural parts of the regions are the strata. Small strata have been over-sampled and there should be enough cases for satisfactory estimates in each stratum. We recommend that you always use weights (v005 in the women's file) for population estimates, regardless of what subpopulation you are working with. We can provide support for Stata but not for other packages. If you are using Stata, please look at Stata help for weights, especially pweights. The help for each estimation command describes how to use weights. Let us know if you are not sure how to specify the weights.
