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.
Luang Prabang Province: A total of 1,975 students aged 13-15 in Secondary 2-3 and Upper Secondary 1-2 completed the survey.
Savannakhet: A total of 2,197 students aged 13-15 in Secondary 2-3 completed the survey.
Vientiane Capital: A total of 2,321 students aged 13-15 in Secondary 2-3 and Upper Secondary 1-2 completed the survey.
Luang Prabang Province: The overall response rate was 99.9%.
Savannakhet: The overall response rate was 98.1%.
Vientiane Capital: The overall response rate was 96.1%.
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
