The total error of the survey can be categorized into two types: Statistical errors and non-statistical errors. Non-statistical errors are related to the procedures of statistical operation at the different stages such as failure to interpret the questions of the questionnaire, not wanting or failure to give the correct answer, and poor statistical coverage, etc. These errors depend on the type of work, training and supervision, efficiency of design, implementation and related activities. The work team made best efforts to reduce non-statistical errors during all stages. Statistical errors, however, can be assessed and often measured by the standard deviation, which was calculated using CENVAR software package using the Ultimate Cluster method to calculate variation","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The questionnaire was consisted of the following parts:\n\n- Household part: consisted household roster including demographic variables such as age, sex, date of birth, smoking, health insurance, labor force status, education variables, and others.
