Sampling
The 2006 Colombia GSHS was a school-based survey of students in grades 7, 8, 9, and 10. A two-stage cluster sample design was used to produce data representative of all students in grades 7, 8, 9, and 10 in Colombia. 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.
A total of 1,737 students participated in the Colombia (Bogotá) GSHS.
A total of 1,170 students participated in the Colombia (Bogotá, official schools) GSHS.
A total of 567 students participated in the Colombia (Bogotá, private schools) GSHS.
A total of 2,093 students participated in the Colombia (Bucaramanga City) GSHS.
A total of 1,945 students participated in the Colombia (Cali City) GSHS.
A total of 2,037 students participated in the Colombia (Manizales) GSHS.
A total of 2,095 students participated in the Colombia (Valledupar City) GSHS.
Bogotá: The school response rate was 92%, the student response rate was 90%, and the overall response rate was 83%.
Bogotá, official schools: The school response rate was 97%, the student response rate was 90%, and the overall response rate was 87%.
Bogotá, private schools: The school response rate was 85%, the student response rate was 91%, and the overall response rate was 77%.
Bucaramanga City: The school response rate was 93%, the student response rate was 86%, and the overall response rate was 81%.
Cali City: The school response rate was 90%, the student response rate was 86%, and the overall response rate was 77%.
Manizales: The school response rate was 93%, the student response rate was 91%, and the overall response rate was 85%.
Valledupar City: The school response rate was 97%, the student response rate was 88%, and the overall response rate was 86%.
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
