Hi Kristen,
VIF(betai) = 1 / (1 - R-squaredi), where R-squared i is the squared multiple
correlation of predictor i with all other predictors. As you can see, no
standard errors actually enter the VIF formula, so complex survey design
adjustments (at least stratification and clustering) have no effect on the
computed VIF - these only correct the standard errors post-estimation.

values... It doesn't seem like it should be the same since the -collin-
command doesn't account for the complex survey design. Can anyone make a
suggestion as to why this might be? Also, I just noticed that the R-squared
for the regressions (with and without the -svy- command) are similar which I
guess explains why the VIFs are the same.
