    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The 2007 Mauritius and Rodrigues GSHS employed a two - stage cluster sample design to produce a representative sample of students in Forms II, III, and IV. The first-stage sampling frame consisted of all schools containing any of Forms II, III, and IV. Schools were selected with probability proportional to school enrolment size. 25 secondary schools were selected to participate in the Mauritius GSHS and 5 secondary schools were selected to participate in the Rodrigues GSHS. The second stage of sampling consisted of randomly selecting intact classrooms (using a random start) from each school to participate.
    Response Rate

    For the 2007 Mauritius GSHS, 2278 questionnaires were completed in 24 schools. The school response rate was 96%, the student response rate was 91%, and the overall response rate was 88%.
    For the 2007 Rodrigues GSHS, 1140 questionnaires were completed in 5 schools. The school response rate was 100%, the student response rate was 90%, and the overall response rate was 90%.
    Weighting

    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
