STEPS
This is the second STEPS conducted by Bangladesh.
STEPS is a household-based survey to obtain core data on the established risk factors that determine the major burden of NCDs.

A multistage complex sampling design was used to produce representative data for that age range in Bangladesh.
The overall response rate was 83.8%.
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. 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.
