Hi!

I have a survey sample with complex sampling design. So suppose I have to use commands like "proc surveyfreq" to get estimates. However, the dependent variable of interest is a dichotomous indicator reflecting rare events (e.g. smoking). For example, only 20 of 20000 students are smokers. I want to see how other factors (e.g. gender) influence the likelihood of being a smoker. Is there any method to deal with this kind of data? If yes, any special issue I should pay attention to? Thank you!

Surveylogistic or Surveyreg are probably good starting points. Assuming predominately class type data for most of the independent variables, gender, ethnicity, race then mostly Surveylogistic.
