Use of weight on subsetted data [message #18008]

Based on my understanding, the sampling weight in DHS is provided based on the entire survey sample.
If I would like to study only a subset of population i.e. men with children.
Can the original sampling weight be applied?
Will the applied weight ensure national respresentativeness of subsetted data?

Or I will need to calculate the new sampling weights based on the subsetted data?

Hope someone can guide me for this.

Thanks :)
