Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The Jordan High Frequency Survey is designed to monitor the wellbeing of Jordanians and Syrian refugees living in Jordan through the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey consists of four rounds of data collected between March 2021 and June 2022 on representative samples of Jordanian and registered Syrian refugees living in the country. Both groups (Jordanians and refugees) were interviewed three times over this period. The survey was collected over the phone as the primary mode of interview, but some interviews were also randomly allocated to be conducted face-to-face.

Sampling
The sampling frame for Jordanians are the bread subsidy applicant cases in the National Unified Registry (NUR), restricted to households with at least one phone number. This sample is stratified by region, location (rural/urban), and a proxy for income quintile (as reported in the NUR), aiming to provide point estimates of key indicators with sufficient precision at the national level and at the levels of the Central (Amman, Zarqa, Balqa, and Madaba), North (Irbid, Jarash, Ajloun, and Mafraq), and South (Karak, Tafiela, Ma’an, and Aqaba) regions. For the Jordanian group, in addition to the main national sample, three additional sub-samples were drawn: i) Takaful beneficiaries ii) Informal workers and iii)Takaful control.
The sampling frame for the refugee sample is the UNHCR database of Syrian refugees in Jordan trimmed to cases whose Asylum Seeker Certificate was issued as of 1 September 2018 onwards. This sample is stratified by governorate and camp/non-camp location in three bins: Amman (non-camp), other governorates (non-camp), camps.
The survey respondent was the head of household or an adult household member, and an attempt was made to ensure some gender balance on the respondent.
An attempt was also made to track households over time. Households who could not be interviewed again were replaced randomly from the respective sample frame. Retention rates were averaged 73 percent from one round to another for the Jordanian sample and 89 percent for the refugee sample.
For the Jordanian sample, an ex-post weight adjustment was applied to better reflect population demographics in terms of gender and age of the household head, and socio-economic status (proxied by education of the head of household), using the HEIS 2017/18 as reference.
An ex-post weight adjustment was also applied to the refugee sample to better reflect the population’s demographics using the UNHCR database.
