If I follow the suggestion below and eliminate NW then I'm not denormalizing and creating the country specific weight (CSW) that I thought was the recommended process for pooled surveys? Did I miss something obvious?

Thanks again.

I have the same question... I have created de-normalized weights after creating unique strata and clusters for 6 appended surveys (three countries, two surveys each). However when I run my logistic regression my 'population size' is gigantic (see below). I've read through most of the threads on this site and cannot seem to understand why my weighting is wrong. However the post above suggests that I do not need to de-normalize the weights? There are so many differing opinions and methods on this, but I think I'd like to de-normalize my weights in order to account for very different country sizes. This is my first analysis I've done with DHS, so I realize there may be something simple I am missing. Any help is appreciated! thank you!

number of obs = 36,349
population size = 11,882,122,587,765
