    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    A two-stage cluster sample design was used to produce data representative of all students in grades 9-13 in Fiji Islands. 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.

    Response Rate

    The school response rate was 97%, the student response rate was 81%, and the overall response rate was 79%.

    Weighting

    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
