Sampling
The 2005 United Arab Emirates GSHS was a school-based survey of students in grades 7, 8, 9, and 10. A two-stage cluster sample design was used to produce data representative of all students in grades 7, 8, 9, and 10 in the United Arab Emirates.
National: The school response rate was 97%, the student response rate was 91%, and the overall response rate was 89%.
Abu Dhabi Emir (Government): The school response rate was 100%, the student response rate was 93%, and the overall response rate was 93%.
Abu Dhabi Emir (Private): The school response rate was 96%, the student response rate was 93%, and the overall response rate was 89%.
Dubai Emir (Government):The school response rate was 100%, the student response rate was 92%, and the overall response rate was 92%.
Dubai Emir (Private): The school response rate was 100%, the student response rate was 90%, and the overall response rate was 90%.
Northern Emir (Government): The school response rate was 96%, the student response rate was 93%, 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 class room
f1 - A school-level non response adjustment factor
f2 - A student-level non response adjustment factor calculated by class room
f3 - A post stratification adjustment factor calculated by sex within grade
