APPENDIX A
Notes on Weighting: 1988 AIDS Public Use Tape Documentation
The final case weight in tape locs. 190-195 produces national estimates
based on the full 36 weeks of data included in the 1988 AIDS Knowledge and
Attitudes tape, i.e., for data collected from May 2, 1988 through the
end of the survey year. The estimator embodied in the final case weight
includes a ratio-adjustment to benchmark population estimates by age, sex,
and race. This adjustment also attempts to reduce bias resulting from
nonresponse and household noncoverage. The final case weight must be
adjusted if the tape user intends to develop estimates for shorter time
periods, e.g., to analyze data for specific calendar months. The data
contained on this tape will not provide reliable estimates for time periods
of less than 4 weeks.
To develop estimates for subsets of the 1988 AIDS data tape, e.g., for
specific calendar months, the tape user must first identify cases by date
of interview. This can be done by selecting on two fields: the processing
quarter (tape loc. 5) and the processing week code (tape locs. 19-20),
which is numbered from 01 to 13 within each quarter. The table below shows
how the quarter and processing week codes correspond to actual interview
weeks. For example, to calculate estimates of AIDS knowledge for November
1988, the user would select only those cases where processing quarter = 4
and where processing week code = 04-07.

Final weights for subsets of the 1988 AIDS Knowledge and Attitudes tape,
such as for a single month of data, may be calculated by multiplying the
final case weight in tape locs. 190-195 by 36/n, where n is the number of
weeks of data in the subset being examined. The resulting adjusted final
case weight will be approximate since it does not directly incorporate the
age/race/sex poststratification adjustment described earlier. These
weights for an n-week period may not yield estimates consistent with the
benchmark population estimates by age, sex, and race.
Tape users who wish to develop more accurate estimates for subsets of the
data, e.g., for specific months, can customize their own age/sex/race
poststratification procedures if desired:
1) Create a temporary adjusted final case weight by multiplying the interim
case weight (tape locs. 172-177) by 36/n.
2) Determine age/sex/race poststrata appropriate to the intended analysis,
making sure that each poststratum (e.g., black men aged 18-29) contains at
least 50 cases.
3) Sum the temporary adjusted case weights (i.e., the interim weights times
36/n) within each poststratum and divide the benchmark population in the
poststratum, e.g., a Census count or estimate, by this sum. The result of
this division is the age/sex/race poststratification adjustment factor.
4) Multiply the temporary adjusted case weight by the appropriate age/sex/
race postratification factor to obtain final adjusted case weight.
