Sampling
A multi-staged cluster sampling design was used to produce representative data for that age range in FSM (Chuuk).
A total of 2,831 individuals participated (response rate of 94.4%).
Data were not able to be weighted. Population-adjustment weights are included in the dataset for each Step:
wStep1 - for interview data
wStep2 - for physical measures
wStep3 - for biochemical measures
This allows for differences in the weight calculation for each Step of the survey as the age-sex composition of the respondents to each Step can differ slightly due to refusal or drop out. Additionally, some countries perform subsampling for Step 2 and/or Step 3. When no subsampling is done and response rates do not differ across Steps of the survey, the 3 weight variables will be the same.
