Definition

AHWEIGHTMN is an 7-digit variable with 6 implied decimal places, which should be used as a weighting factor for the men who were selected and interviewed for the adult health questionnaire. For further information about using weights with the DHS data, see PERWEIGHT (V005).

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