Sampling
Sampling Procedure
GYTS uses a global standardized methodology that includes a two-stage sample design with schools selected with a probability proportional to enrollment size. The classes within selected schools are chosen randomly and all students in selected classes are eligible to participate in the survey.
A total of 4,712 eligible students in grade 7 to 11 completed the survey, of which 2,344 were aged 13-15 years.
A total of 4,712 eligible students in grade 7 to 11 completed the survey, of which 2,344 were aged 13-15 years.
Response Rate
The overall response rate was 94.9%.
Weighting
The weighting formula used is:
W=W1 * W2 * f1 * f2 * f3*f4
The list below shows what each variable in the formula represents.
W1 - The inverse of the probability of selecting the school
W2 - The inverse of the probability of selecting the class within the school
f1 - a school-level nonresponse adjustment factor calculated by school size category (small, medium, large)
f2 - a class adjustment factor calculated by school
f3 - a student-level nonresponse adjustment factor calculated by class
f4 - a post stratification adjustment factor calculated by gender and grade
