To construct a weight for use
in analysis using Health Insurance Eligibility Units (HIEUs):
- Identify the HIEU head by
your analytic intent, i.e. if only studying heath insurance unit
with female heads of households, choose the female adult as head
of household.
- If the weight of the HIEU
head is non-zero, use the weight of the HIEU head for all members
of that HIEU; or
- If the weight of the HIEU
head is zero, delete the case.
