Variance and effect of sample design has been computed for the Palestinian Territory, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. \n\nNon-Statistical  Errors:\nNon-statistical errors, on the other hand, could not be determined easily, due to the diversity of sources from which they may arise, e.g., the interviewer, respondent, editor, coder, and data entry operator."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"1.
