Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sample size 5,811 households located in 300 enumeration areas in the Palestinian Territory, distributed by 3,891 households in West Bank and 1,920 in Gaza Strip. The design considered dissemination on governorate level and the localities affected by the annexation wall.
The sample is a statistical clustered strata sample (PPS) of two stages:
The first stage: A cluster random probability sample that is proportional to the size of each enumeration area of households (PPS) composed of (190) enumeration areas were selected.
The second stage: 30 households were selected, from each enumeration area that was selected in the first stage, in systematic random way.
Kish tables were used to select one eligible women (ever married women) and one eligible youth aged 18-64 years and one eligible child aged 12-17 years, when there are more than one eligible individuals in these targeted group in same household.

Response Rate
" Response rate in the Palestinian Territory 93.5% while in the West Bank was 92.1% and in Gaza Strip it was 94.9%.
Weighting
As weight of statistical unit (sampling unit) in the sample is an inverse probability of selecting a sampling unit, and a sample of this survey is a stratified clustered sample (PPS) with three stages, where in the first stage, calculating weight of enumeration areas based on selecting each enumeration area (PPS sample), then in the second phase, calculating weight of household of each enumeration area and then by multiplying the weight of the first stage by the weight of the second phase, we get the preliminary weight of households, then we adjust these weights based on estimates of households by mid-2011 and the category of amendment is the governorate and the type of locality, and thus we get the final weights of households.
The calculations of weights of members of target groups in the survey were done by giving each individual the final weight of his household and the weight of the first individual is the product of the weight of the household of the individual multiplied by the number of the individuals of target group within his household, while the primary weights of individuals were modified by region and sex of the target group and age groups according to estimates of mid-2011 and so we had got the final weights of the individual in the target group.
