Hello,

I am working with the Malaria Indicator Survey for Madagascar 2013. Unfortunately my French is not the best so I am having some difficulty interpreting the Sampling Methodology of the MIS final report for Madagascar. I recently watched the dhs series of youtube videos on sample weights, and I a little confused about how to apply them for this particular dataset in SAS. In the DHS youtube videos, they said the PSU would be v021, the weight would be v005/1000000, and the stratum would be v023. When I am looking at the data, I am not seeing anything for the variable v023. I am little confused as to how I would go about applying the sample weights correctly in SAS if there is nothing for v023. Would I simply exclude the row of code: stratum v023, or would I do something different? I greatly appreciate any feedback and suggestions, thank you!
