    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    A simple random sample of households, then one individual within the age range of the survey was selected per household. See p.15 of the report for further detail.
    Response Rate

    Overall response rate of 53% for STEP 1 and 2, and 44% for STEP 3.
    Weighting

    Analysis weights were calculated by taking the inverse of the probability of selection of each participant. These weights were adjusted for differences in the age-sex composition of the sample population as compared to the target population.

    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.
