Dear DHS users,

I am using birth record data from appending Bangladesh DHS 1999/2000, 2004, 2007, 2011 and 2014 to study the determinants of infant/neonatal mortality. I have read some discussion on the user forum about weighting data and setting "svyset" commands and I still have two questions regarding to my specific context:

(1) How to set new "strata" if stratification is different across years? . Bangladesh 2011 and 2014 DHS, the most recent two years have different "strata design" from previous years. Here are two screenshots from BDHS report. Can I still set new strata as "egen strata = group (survey v024 v025) where survey indicates different rounds? And also "v022" in early years are very different from the ones in BDHS 2011 and 2014.

2011
/index.php?t=getfile&id=1018&private=0

2007
/index.php?t=getfile&id=1019&private=0

(2) How to re-weight the appended data across survey rounds if I am only interested in the birth records two years prior to the interview time? Are the following ways appropriate for my study?
generate weight = v005/10000000
egen clusters=group(survey v021)
egen strata = group(survey v024 v025)
svyset clusters [pweight=weight], strata(strata)


Any suggestions or comments will be highly appreciated. Thank you!
regards,
Qiao
