Sampling
The sampling design is a three-stage stratified sampling with the first stage being the selection of 659 areas (enumeration districts (ED). This selection was done with probability proportionate to number of households in the ED.Each ED needed to have at least 80 households to allow the selection of contiguous but independent clusters (one for the female and one for the male sample). In the second stage, clusters of households were randomly selected. In the third stage, in each of the households in the female sample a woman aged 15-49 years was selected at random; in the male sample, one man aged 15-24 years was randomly selected in each of the male sampled households. The survey used a stratified multistage sampling design based on the 2001 Census Enumeration Districts as the sampling frame.
STATIN was unable to obtain the quota of interviews because of unrest in the island. Therefore additional households were selected in some parishes in order to complete the minimum number of questionnaires.
Of 17,878 households selected in the survey of women, there were 7,805 eligible female respondents (aged 15-49 years) identified, of whom 7,168 (91.8%) were successfully interviewed. Of 15,950 households selected in the survey of young adult men, there were 2,795 eligible male respondents (aged 15-24) identified, of whom 2,437 (87.2%) were successfully interviewed.
Data weighted as follows: Sampling weights - because only one woman/household included Post-stratification weights to account for unequal urban:rural distribution of the population
Survey instrument
Two structured questionnaires - one for females, the other for males. Control forms include 1. Form CSDS 6 - List of hh to be enumerated 2. Form CSDS 14 - Interviewers daily progress report 3. Form CSDS 62 - Record of completed work assignment

The 130 interviewers were supervised by 15 supervsors and 3 senior supervisors
Interviewers were trained over 5 days. A total of 17878 households were visited in order to obtain a minimum sample of 6000 females and 2000 males. The main problems was the level of violence in many of the sampled areas and the requirement for call backs in order to interview the person selected.
Data processing
Editor/coder manuals were prepared and 20 persons trained. Before data entry, all the questionnaires are edited and coded. The procedure demanded that all required fields were completed correctly and that the skips were adhered to.
Data appraisal
Detailed consistency checks were performed using CSPRO and SAS
