These weights were adjusted for differences in the age-sex composition of the sample population as compared to the target population.\n\nDifferent weight variables are available per Step:\nwStep1 - for interview data\nwStep2 - for physical measures\nwStep3 - for biochemical measures\nThis 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."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"The total response rate was 93.8%"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"NCD Surveillance Team","affiliation":"World Health Organization","email":"ncdmonitoring@who.int","uri":"http:\/\/www.who.int\/ncds\/surveillance\/steps\/en\/"}],"cit_req":"Publications based on STEPS data should cite the survey report (if available) and acknowledge the data source in the following manner:\n\"This paper uses data from the [country] [year] STEPS survey, implemented by [implementing agency] with the support of the World Health Organization.\"","conditions":"The user undertakes: \n(1) to acknowledge the data source. \n(2) to share any planned publications with WHO prior to publication.\n(3) to offer co-authorship of any reports or publications using the survey results  to the coordinator of the survey.\n(4) to use the data for non-commercial, not-for-profit public health purposes only.","disclaimer":"The data is being distributed without warranty of any kind.
