    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    Census
    Response Rate

    Of the total population aged 15 years and over (n=1071), 913 were surveyed at Step 1 and Step 2 giving a response rate of 85.2%. Of these, 863 people undertook biochemical measures at Step 3 (response rate 80.6%).
    Weighting

    As the survey was a census, analysis weights reflect the response rate of each age-sex group.

    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. 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.
