The master sample was drawn up to be used for different sample surveys. It consists of 481 enumeration areas (EA) (the average size of about 150 households). The master sample was the sample frame for the current Demographic and Heath Survey of 2004. The selected EA were divided into small units called cells (with an average size of 25 households). One cell per EA was selected. \n\nThe sample type was a stratified two-stage random sample:\nFirst stage: 260 EAs were selected from all Palestinian territory.\nSecond stage: A systematic random sample of 25 households was selected from each EA in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. For the part of Jerusalem that was annexed by Israel after the 1967 war, 30 households were selected from each EA.\n\nSample size:\nThe number of households in the sample was 6,574 households: 4,456 in the West Bank and 2,118 in the Gaza Strip.","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,disability, child labor for children aged 10 years and over and education section for persons aged 5-17 years.\n-  Dwelling part: including questions on housing conditions such as main drinking water source, iodized salt and other socio-economic indicators. \n-Women (15-54 years) questionnaire\n- Women part: this part was designed to collect data from all ever-married women 15-54 years old.

Weights reflect the sampling procedures. To make the weighing procedure feasible and simple, we assumed that the households have been selected directly within the EA.\n\nThe weighing procedure considered the total Palestinian population in the beginning of the second quarter of the year 2004 and their distribution by region, sex and age group.\n\nIt is important to calculate the sampling error and to show it beside the estimates. This gives the data user an idea about the efficiency and accuracy of the estimates.\n\nThe total survey errors are divided into two types: sampling errors and non-sampling errors. Non-sampling errors arose from implementing data collection and data processing, such as failure to interview the correct unit or mistakes made by the interviewer or the respondent. It is still difficult to estimate the non-sampling errors. However, many procedures have been adopted to reduce the non-sampling errors.\n\nSampling errors on the other hand are a measure of the variability between all possible samples. Sampling errors can be estimated from the survey results. \n\nThe variance calculation uses the method of Ultimate Clusters; the variance formula depends on the type of estimate (ratios, means, totals, etc.). For this purpose we use a statistical package for variance calculation called CENEVAR.","cleaning_operations":"Data editing took place at a number of stages through the processing including:\n\n1. office editing and coding\n2. during data entry\n3. structure checking and completeness\n4. structural checking of SPSS data files","method_notes":"Both data entry and tabulation were performed using the ACCESS and SPSS software programs.
