Sampling
The 2010 Oman GSHS employed a two-stage cluster sample design to produce a representative sample of students in grades eight to ten. The first-stage sampling frame consisted of all schools containing any of grades eight to ten. Schools were selected with probability proportional to school enrolment size. 49 schools were selected to participate in the Oman GSHS. The second stage of sampling consisted of randomly selecting intact classrooms (using a random start) from each school to participate. A
For the 2010 Oman GSHS, 1606 questionnaires were completed in 46 schools. The school response rate was 94%, the student response rate was 94%, and the overall response rate was 89%.
The weighting formula used is:
W=W1 W2 f1 f2 f3.
The list below shows what each variable in the formula represents.
W1 - The inverse of the probability of selecting each school
W2 - The inverse of the probability of selecting each classroom
f1 - A school-level non response adjustment factor
f2 - A student-level non response adjustment factor calculated by classroom
f3 - A post stratification adjustment factor calculated by sex within grade
