    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    A multi-stage cluster sample design was used to produce representative data for that age range in Kiribati. Please refer to page 18 of report for further information.
    Weighting

    Analysis weights reflect adjustments 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. Additionally, some countries perform subsampling for Step 2 and/or Step 3. When no subsampling is done and response rates do not differ across Steps of the survey, the 3 weight variables will be the same.

    Please refer to page 23 of report for further information.
