Sampling
In Palau, GYTS was conducted as a census.
A total of 1,479 eligible students in grades 6-12 completed the survey, of which 677 were aged 13-15 years.
The overall response rate was 91.5%.
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
