Special follow-up patterns were designed for handing in and receiving questionnaires for all levels as well as the daily accomplishments of the interviewers. Supervisors had the task of allocating work to the teams using the list of establishments. They provided daily and weekly reports to the fieldwork coordinator and the project's administration explaining the completed interviews, refusal cases, the inapplicable cases such as temporarily and permanent closed establishments, interviews where results were not determined, and the cases that could not be communicated (after three contact attempts). The reports also included the technicians and coordinators' supervisory field visits. Weights have been calculated for each sampling unit. Weight reflects the sampling procedures. Adjusted weights are important to reduce bias resulting from non-responses. Also “adjusting” gave consideration to the changes since the time of the Population, Housing and Establishments Census, 2007 and the time of carrying out the survey. The survey sample consists of about 3,011 establishments; 1,905 establishments completed the interview, of which 1,591 establishments were in the West Bank and 314 establishments in Gaza Strip.
