Hello Asanti,

The problem is that you are fitting a multi-level model using one weight. For multi-level models you need to supply a weight for each level.

Using the svyset you provided you could fit the following model:

svy: logit outcome varlist if ANC_use==1

If you want to use multi-level weights, you need to construct the second level weight which is not available in our datasets. To do this you can check our methodological report #27: https://www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-mr27-met hodological-reports.cfm?csSearch=381803_1

Best,
