Dear all,

Does anyone know how I may compare two proportions drawn from a variable in
a weighted survey?  The svy command I understand is not available for
prtest.  Is there a work-around that allows one to incorporate survey design
effects/weights?

As Steve Samuels notes, prtest can test a lot of different hypotheses. Depending on the hypothesis, I believe svy:logit could be appropriate, e.g. if y and x are both 0/1 dichotomies,

svy: logit y x

If the coefficient for x is not significant, the proportions do not differ across the two categories of x.
