I am working with the latest DRC questionnaire. I am performing both a descriptive and a regression analysis on a dataset where I have merged the INDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLD with the WOMEN file.

1. Which weights should be used on the national sample? Would I use women weights whenever I am interested in variable from the female questionnaire and individual household weights if the variable of interest is on the household level?

2. I would like to perform an analysis for a regional subsample which comprises women between 15-30 in Kinshasa. Which weights would I use for the subsample analysis?

Thank you very much for your help!

Best wishes
