Sampling
The 2007 Libya GSHS employed a two-stage cluster sample design to produce a representative sample of students in GRADES 7-9. The first-stage sampling frame consisted of all schools containing any of GRADES 7-9. 2700 Schools were eligible to participate.schools were selected to participate with probability proportional to school enrolment size. 50 schools were selected to participate in the Libyan GSHS.
The second stage of sampling consisted of randomly selecting intact classrooms (using a random start) from each school to participate. All classrooms in each selected school were included in the sampling frame. All students in the sampled classrooms were eligible to participate in the GSHS.
The school response rate was 100 %, the student response rate was 98%, and the overall response rate was 98%.
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

Survey administration occurred from 4 - February 2007 to 12- march 2007. Survey procedures were designed to protect student privacy by allowing for anonymous and voluntary participation. Students completed the self-administered questionnaire during one classroom period and recorded their responses directly on a computer-scannable answer sheet. 20 Survey Administrators were specially trained to conduct the GSHS. All necessary arrangement were made with secretariat of education at all levels and schools contacted by survey administrators for the day and time suitable to selected classes.
Data processing
All data processing (scanning, cleaning, editing, and weighting) was conducted at the US Centers for Disease Control.
