Demographic and Health Survey (standard) - DHS II
The 1992 Zambia Demographic and Health Survey (ZDHS) is the first DHS survey carried out in Zambia.
Zambia
The 1992 Zambia Demographic and Health Survey (ZDHS) is a nationally representative sample survey, also representative at the level of the nine provinces.
All women of reproductive age, age 15-49 in the total sample of households.
Sample survey data
Ministry of Health
Face-to-face
All questionnaires for the ZDHS were returned to the University of Zambia for data processing. The processing operation consisted of office editing, coding of open-ended questions, data entry, and editing errors found by the computer programs. Two programmers (one from the CSO and one from the University), one questionnaire administrator, two office editors, and three data entry operators were responsible for the data processing operation. The data were processed on four microcomputers owned by the Department of Social Development Studies at the University of Zambia. The ZDHS data entry and editing programs were written in ISSA (Integrated System for Survey Analysis) and followed the standard DHS consistency checks and editing procedures. Simple range and skip errors were corrected at the data entry stage. Secondary machine editing of the data was initiated as soon as a sufficient number of questionnaires had been entered. The purpose of the secondary editing was to detect and correct, if possible, inconsistencies in the data. No major problems were encountered during data editing. Data processing commenced on 22nd January and was completed on 20th June 1992.
The results indicate that of the 6709 households selected, ZDHS interviewers successfully interviewed 93 percent. Three percent of the households selected were found to be either vacant or not a valid household, while another 3 percent were absent (not at home). Of the 6458 households that were occupied,96 percent were successfully interviewed (6209). In the interviewed households, 7247 eligible women were found, of whom 97 percent were interviewed (7060).
Non sampling error is the result of mistakes made in implementing data collection and data processing, such as failure to locate and interview the correct household, misunderstanding of the questions on the part of either the interviewer or the respondent, and data entry errors. Although numerous efforts were made during the implementation of the ZDHS to minimize this type of error, non sampling errors are impossible to avoid and difficult to evaluate statistically.
