Thank you!

It is quite disappointing that the disability data is used so rarely. Of course, there are perhaps other issues that are considered more pressing, but I hope to be able to contribute to disability research.

I see this line in the do file: * Only 26,435 unweighted cases with any kind of disability

What does this mean for analysis? I am appending two other datasets (Pakistan and Nepal) to include in my analysis. Should I not weigh the data? The script I have currently included is as follows:
*Set the survey design

gen weight = hv005/1000000 //scaling the weights if needed --> DO I NEED TO?
svyset [pw=weight], psu(hv021) strata (hv023)

Do you have a recommendation on this?

In my analysis, hearing loss (a recategorization of the variable in PK and NP to coordinate with the binary nature of the IN dataset) is my primary outcome.

Thank you in advance for advice on this.
