    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    A separate sample was drawn for Lebanese vs Syrians. A multi-stage cluster sample of household was drawn for each. One individual within the age range of the survey was selected per household.
    Response Rate

    • The overall response rate for the Lebanese sample was 65.9%.

    • The overall response rate for the Syrian sample was 74.1%.
    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.
