Thank you both for the quick response.

We are using the demographic data captured only in the household rosters. We are doing this intentionally to understand whether climate shocks impact non-response. Therefore we would like the full household listing of eligible members to be representative of overall populations (of people with the same criteria) and not just those who were successfully reached and interviewed. Because weights are only calculated and provided for those who were successfully interviewed, we don't have weights to attribute to those in the household roster who were eligible to be interviewed but for whatever reason were missed.

Is this clearer? We imagined maybe we could calculate and assign the same weight for these missed individuals as others in the local sampling area... But those weights explicitly account for the non-success rate (as we understand it). So maybe we take those weights but remove the attrition adjustments? We weren't sure...

Thank you again in advance!
Sylvan
