Sampling
The Bolivia GSHS was a school-based survey of students in 2nd Secondary - 6th Secondary, which are typically attended by students aged 13-17. A two-stage cluster sample design was used to produce data representative of all students in 2nd Secondary - 6th Secondary in Bolivia. At the first stage, schools were selected with probability proportional to enrollment size. At the second stage, classes were randomly selected and all students in selected classes were eligible to participate.
National: The school response rate was 94%, the student response rate was 84%, and the overall response rate was 79%.
Highland: The school response rate was 100%, the student response rate was 88%, and the overall response rate was 88%.
Plains: The school response rate was 97%, the student response rate was 83%, and the overall response rate was 80%.
Valley: The school response rate was 84%, the student response rate was 81%, and the overall response rate was 68%.
The weighting formula used is:
W=W1 W2 f1 f2 f3.
The list below shows what each variable in the formula represents.
W1 - The inverse of the probability of selecting each school
W2 - The inverse of the probability of selecting each classroom
f1 - A school-level non response adjustment factor
f2 - A student-level non response adjustment factor calculated by classroom
f3 - A post stratification adjustment factor calculated by sex within grade
