Sampling
Sampling was done in two steps, the first of which with stratification, stratification based on 12 + 1 prefectures in Albania, the first step units are neutral and registration areas while the second step units are households. Choosing both steps is done randomly by providing a representation both in terms of level, as well as the area's prefecture urban-rural residence.
Total households sampled was divided into 4 sub-samples of three months which geographically dispersed homogeneously throughout the year, making it possible to reflect changes seasonally.
The response rate resulted in 94.4 %.
