Hi All,

I'm working with multi-year DHS data from 9 countries to look at trends in modern contraception usage. Because of the size of the data I am importing it into a relational database (SQL Server) for ease of storage and access (people other than me need to access this data).

My question is what is the best way to add the sample weights (V005) to the data without using SPSS/Stata?
Alternatively, is there a way to apply sample weights in SPSS/Stata and then save the dataset as a flat file (e.g. XLS) with appropriate weights still applied to the data?

thanks very much!
