(The enumeration area is a geographical area containing a number of buildings and housing units of about 120 housing units on average.)\n\t\nThe total frame consists of the following two parts:\n\n1-\tWest Bank and Gaza Sampling Frame: containing enumeration areas drawn up in 2007. In the West Bank: each enumeration area consists of a list of households with identification data to ascertain the address of individual households.  In Gaza: each enumeration area contains a list of housing units with addresses to ascertain the address of individual households, plus identification data of the housing units.\n\n2-\tJerusalem Sampling Frame (inside checkpoints): contains enumeration areas only, geographically divided with information about the total number of households in these areas. However, there is no detailed information about addresses inside enumeration areas and the size of the enumeration area can be ascertained without the ability to identify the addresses.\n\n\nDesign Strata\nIn the survey, two variables were chosen to divide the population into strata, depending on the homogeneity of parts of the population.\nPrevious studies have shown that Palestinian households may be divided as follows:\n1-\tGovernorates: there are 16 governorates in the Palestinian Territory: 11 governorates in the West Bank and 5 in the Gaza Strip.\n2-\tLocality Types: there are three types : urban, rural and refugee camps.\nAll the available frames contain the strata variables. \nSample Size\nWe use the following formula to estimate the sample size:\n\n           n\t=\t[(1.15) f(1-r) (r)4]\t\n\t\t[(nh) p2(r0.07)]\t\nWhere: \n-\tn: sample size requested for the main indicator or main estimate\n-\t4: is a factor to achieve a 95 percent level of confidence\n-\tr is the predicted or anticipated prevalence (coverage rate) for the indicator\n-\tbeing estimated\n-\t1.15 is the factor necessary to raise the sample size by 20 percent for non-response\n-\tf is the design effect\n-\t0.07r is the margin of error to be tolerated at the 95 percent level of\n      confidence, defined as 7 percent of r (7 percent represents the\n       relative sampling error of r)\n-\tp is the proportion of the total population upon which the indicator, r, is\n     based\n-\tnh is the average household size\n\nTo estimate the sample size of the survey we rely on the percentage of children under 5 years who suffer from stunting. We consider it as the main indicator for the survey (r) and it equals  10.2% (from MICS3 data -2006).\nAlso, by returning to census data in 2007 we find the percentage of children aged 0 - 4 years =14.1%.\nFinally, the sample size = 15,355\n\nSample Design and Type\nAfter determining the sample size, which equals 15456 households, we selected a probability sample - a multi-stage stratified cluster sample as follows:\n1-\tFirst stage: selecting a sample of clusters (enumeration areas) using PPS without replacement method to obtain 644 enumeration areas from the total enumeration area frame.\n2-\tSecond stage: selecting 24 households from each selected enumeration area of the first stage and using the systematic sample method.\n                When reaching households, we enumerate all the targeted individuals from the groups: women (15-54) years, elderly aged 60 and more, children aged 0-5 years.\n3-\tThird stage: selecting one child of age group 2-14 years for part of the questionnaire and one young person from the 15-29 age group to answer the youth attachment in the   questionnaire. We use the Kish table to select one person at random.","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"The design of the survey complied with the standard specifications of health surveys previously implemented by PCBS.
