DHS Sample Weights & Fixed Effects Controls [message #22058]

Dear DHS - User,

in my repeated cross-sectional analysis, I am using IR files for surveys between 2000 - 2018 which were conducted in countries of SSA.

Thereby, I followed the DHS sample weights procedure:

gen wgt = v005/1000000
egen stratum = group (v024 v025)
svyset [pw = wgt], psu(v021) strata (stratum)

Now, I am wondering whether - due to the svy command - I am already controlling for region-fixed effects or whether I have to include a control variable for the region (v000 v024)? It is a rather trivial question but since it is my first time working with DHS data, I wanted to kindly ask you for your advice.

Thank you very much in advance!

Warm regards,
Bianca
