st: GEE or svy:logit

[b.coleman@utoronto.ca]

Greetings from a new Statalister.
I am in need of advice, including references, if you have any.

We have done a household-level cross-sectional survey including all  
consenting adults within the household (1 to 4 per cluster). There are  
both household-level and personal-level variables.
The dependent variable is nominal at the personal level (ill/not ill).
The focal independent variable is nomial and at the household level  
(water contaminated/not).
Other variables of interest (explanatory, in relation to focal  
independent variable) are at the personal and household level.

My question is this...do I need to use GEE to adequately account for  
clustering within households OR would the svy:logit in Stata do this?  
(The ICC for illness & household is 0.08, SE 0.08)

Regards,
Brenda Coleman, PhD candidate
