Description

Definition

DVWEIGHT (D005) is an 8-digit variable with 6 implied decimal places, which should be used as a weighting factor for the subset of women who were randomly selected and interviewed in privacy for the domestic violence module (as indicated by DVMODULE) (V044). For further information about using weights with the DHS data, see PERWEIGHT (V005).

Note: The 6 implied decimal places in DVWEIGHT mean that the last six digits of the eight-digit variable are decimal digits, but there is no actual decimal in the data.
