Understanding Society User Support

Hello,

I'm comparing the financial confidence (variable 'finnow') of people aged 70-79 between 1991 (BHPS) and 2016 (Understanding Society), using data downloaded from the UK Data Service.

I'd like to check I'm using the correct weighting and survey design variables.

I've weighted the data for non-response with ba_xrwght in 1991, and g_indinui_xw in 2016, to select respondents to the main interview (excluding proxy and self-completed).

Using the setsvy command in Stata, I've selected psu (1991) and g_psu (2016) as the psu variable, and strata (1991) and g_strata (2016) as the strata variable.

I would appreciate confirmation that this is appropriate, as I am unfamiliar with this survey.

Thanks,
Ngaire.
