Thanks for your responses.

I think we have double two psu's because I appended male and female cases in my pooled dataset. As the listing below shows, the weight values are constant within each psu by gender.

. list sample sex weight weight2 psupool stratapool in 115431/115440

to resolve this issue, should I recreate the psu and strata variables by taking gender into account, ie:

egen psupool= group(idhspsu v000 sex)
egen stratapool= group(strata v000 sex)

sincerely, Yawo
