Sampling

Sampling Procedure
A two-stage cluster sample design was used to produce data representative of all students in 8 primary/polimodal 1st high - 12 polimodal 5th high in Argentina. At the first stage, schools were selected with probability proportional to enrollment size. At the second stage, classes were randomly selected and all students in selected classes were eligible to participate.
Response Rate
The school response rate was 86%, the student response rate was 74%, and the overall response rate was 63%. A total of 56,981 students participated in the Argentina GSHS.
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
