In the first stage we calculate the weight of enumeration areas based on the probability of each enumeration area (PPS sample). In the second stage we calculate the weight of households in each enumeration area. Initial household weights resulted from the product of the weight of the first stage and the weight of the second stage. then we adjusted the initial weight by product the initial weight and the attrition factor (attrition from the sample). The final household weights were obtained after adjustment of the initial weights with the household estimates for mid-2015 according to design strata (governorate, locality type).   \n\nWeights for the ROSTER file were calculated as follows:\n1-\tadding the household weights (wh) for each person per household, known as the primary weight of person.\n2-\tadjusting the primary person weights in relation to the number of population in mid-June 2015 by these adjusted levels: (region (West Bank, Gaza Strip), (gender (male, female), 17-year age group.\n3-\tFinally, we obtain the final person weight in each adjusted level which the person belongs to.\n4-\tAdding the final person weights to SefSec_2014_Person18+ file","cleaning_operations":"Both data entry and tabulation were performed using the Access and SPSS software programs.

This is referred to as non-response errors, response errors, interviewing        errors, and data entry errors.  To avoid errors and reduce their effects, great efforts were made to train the fieldworkers intensively.  They were trained in how to carry out the interview, what to discuss and what to avoid, carrying out a pilot survey and practical and theoretical training during the training course.\n\nAlso data entry staff was trained on the entry program that was examined before starting the data entry process.  Continuous contacts with the fieldwork team were maintained through regular visits to the field and regular meetings during the different field visits.  Problems faced by fieldworkers were discussed to clarify issues and provide relevant instructions."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"1.
