Appendix A-Notes on Weighting
Notes on Weighting: 1990 AIDS Public Use Tape Documentation
The final case weight in tape locs. 201-206 produces national estimates based
on the full 52 weeks of data included in the 1990 AIDS Knowledge and
Attitudes tape. 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 1990 AIDS data tape, e.g., for
specific calendar months, the tape user must first identify cases by date of
interview. This can be done be 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 1990, the user
would select only those cases where processing quarter = 4 and where
processing week code = 04-08.

Final weights for subsets of the 1990 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 52/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/racesex
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 52/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
52/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.
