Laura,

Thank you for your question. You could use Covid-19 wave 6 weight as a suboptimal weight (with smaller sample size of course), or you could construct you own tailored weight using w10 enumeration base weight if you prefer. For this follow our course here: https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/help/training/creating-tailored-weights/

Hope this helps,
Olena

Dear Olena,

Thank you very much for your answer.

What do you mean exactly by "with smaller sample size"? Do you mean that the sum of weights is not going to be the total number of respondents in the wave, right?

Thanks again,
Laura

Laura,

No, I meant the number of respondents in your model. There will be more respondents that can be in your model and provided necessary information for you, but with Covid-19 weight you will limit only to those who provided full response in wave 6 of Covid study.

Hope this helps,
Olena
