Sampling
GYTS uses a global standardized methodology that includes a two-stage sample design with schools selected with a probability proportional to enrollment size. The classes within selected schools are chosen randomly and all students in selected classes are eligible to participate in the survey.
A total of 1,565 students aged 13-15 participated in the Ecuador-Guayaquil GYTS.
A total of 1,389 students aged 13-15 participated in the Ecuador-Quito GYTS.
A total of 352 students aged 13-15 participated in the Ecuador-Zamora GYTS.
Guayaquil: The school response rate was 100.0%, the class response rate was 100.0%, the student response rate was 89.9% and the overall response rate was 89.9%.
Quito:The school response rate was 92.0%, the class response rate was 100.0%, the student response rate was 95.1% and the overall response rate was 87.5%.
Zamora: The school response rate was 90.0%, the class response rate was 100.0%, the student response rate was 94.8% and the overall response rate was 85.3%.
The weighting formula used is:
W=W1 W2 f1 f2 f3*f4
The list below shows what each variable in the formula represents.
W1 - The inverse of the probability of selecting the school
W2 - The inverse of the probability of selecting the class within the school
f1 - a school-level nonresponse adjustment factor calculated by school size category (small, medium, large)
f2 - a class adjustment factor calculated by school
f3 - a student-level nonresponse adjustment factor calculated by class
f4 - a post stratification adjustment factor calculated by gender and grade
