Sampling
A multi-stage cluster sampling design was used to produce representative data for that age range in Cook Islands. Please refer to page 19-20 of report for further information.
The response rate was 90%.
See p. 24 of report for description of weighting.
Different weight variables are available per 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.
