Hi DHS experts:

According to the DHS Household and Sampling Manual, the DHS surveys are two stage surveys. The sampling units for the first stage of selection is called the Primary Sampling Unit (PSU); the sampling unit for the second stage of selection is called the Secondary Sampling Unit (SSU).

This is the survey syntax for stratified two stage design from Stata 14 documentation:
svyset psu [pweight=weight], strata (strata) fpc (fpc1) || ssu, fpc (fpc2)
svyset v021 [pweight=v005], strata (v022) fpc (fpc1) || ssu, fpc (fpc2)

What is the secondary sampling unit(ssu) variable in DHS data set?

Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks

Best, Jawla.
