Sampling
Participants were randomly selected through 2 stages: (1) households were randomly selected from a list of available households in the district. Brunei has 4 districts; each of the 4 districts was used as the primary sampling unit. (2) One resident within each household (secondary sampling unit) was randomly selected via the Kish method.
The response rate for step 1 was 53% (3808 out of 7229 participants).
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.
