Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The Sample Frame
Were estimated sample size of Jerusalem by 3,300 family, including 2,240 families in the region J1, and 1,060 families in the region of J2 has been the establishment of Sample Frame to Jerusalem (J2) of the General Census of Population and Housing, and Establishment, which was carried out by the PCBS at the end of 1997, was create Sample Frame to Jerusalem (J1) of project data that has been exclusively in 2004. And the frame is a list of counting areas, and these areas are used as units an initial preview (PSUs) in the first stage of the process of selecting the sample.
Stratified cluster random sample of regular two phases:
Phase I: was selected a stratified random sample of enumeration areas from Jerusalem (J1) and Jerusalem (J2). The number of enumeration areas that have been chosen counting area 123 divided into two regions: 70 the count of Jerusalem (J1), 53 the count of Jerusalem (J2).
Phase II: A random sample was withdrawn systematically with size of 20 families from each enumeration area that was selected in the first stage of the Jerusalem J2, and 32 families from each enumeration area that was selected in the first stage of the Jerusalem J1.

Response Rate
during the field work we visit 3,300 family in Jerusalem Governorate, 2,240 in Area J1 and1,060 in Area J2 where the final results of the interviews were as follows:
The number of families who were interviewed (2,485) in Jerusalem Governorate,
complete questioner 75.3%
(1,773) in J1 79.2%
(712) in J2 67.2%

Weighting
Known weight on it upside down the probability of selection of the element in the sample, can be explained by weight as the amount represented by the element in the sample of elements of society, has been calculated weights to take into account compensation for cases of non-completion that has been through the process of data collection, when calculating the weights of households to the survey were into account the distribution of households by region and type of locality in Jerusalem Governorate according to population estimates mid-2005, is divided into two levels I: Jerusalem Area J1 layers, including (Jerusalem, "Jerusalem holy place" and the rest of the urban and the camp in the area of J1). The second layers J2 Jerusalem area, including (urban, rural and camp in the area of J2).
As for individuals to calculate the weights have been taking into account the population distribution by region, sex and age structure estimated population in mid-2005, estimates from the reality of the Central Bureau of Statistics. It is essential when calculating estimates of indicators for the survey is calculated weights, so that each unit weight of analysis commensurate with the probability of selection of the unit.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Data were collected in a manner that the survey sample and not Balhsr destruction, so she is exposed to two main types of errors. The first sampling errors (statistical errors), and the second non-statistical errors. It is intended that sampling errors of the errors resulting from sample design, so it is easy to measure, the contrast has been calculated and the effect of sample design.
The non-statistical errors are possible to occur in every stage of project implementation, through data collection, inserting, and mistakes can be summarized by the non-response, and response errors (surveyed), and the mistakes of the interview (the researcher) and data-entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce the impact it has made significant efforts through the training of researchers extensive training, and the presence of a group of experts in the concepts and terminology, medical / health, and training on how to conduct interviews, and the things that must be followed during the interview, and the things that should be avoided.
Have been trained on the data entry program entry, program, and were examined in order to see the picture of the situation and reduce any problems, there was constant contact between supervisors and checkers through ongoing visits and periodic meetings. In addition, has been drafting a set of circulars and instructions reminder to the team. Also been circulated answers to questions and problems faced by the researchers during the field work.
As for office work have been trained crew to check the special forms and field detection of errors, which greatly reduces the rates of errors that can occur during field work. In order to reduce the proportion of errors that can occur during entry form to the computer, the software is designed to entry so as not to allow any errors Tnasagah can get during the process of input and contains many of the conditions Logical, where they were loading the program the input of many tests on private answers each question in addition to the relations between the different questions and testing the other logical. This process has led to the disclosure of most of the errors that are not found in previous phases of work, where they were correct all errors that have been discovered.
Data were evaluated according to the following areas:
1. Definition of family members and how to register.
2. Demographic characteristics that have a relationship on Christmas.
3. Breakdown of the profession and activity.
Methods of assessment vary according to the data subject in this survey include the following:
1. Occurrences of missing values and Answers "other" and "Do not know" and examine inconsistencies between different sections or between the date of birth and other sections. Add to examine the internal consistency of the data as part of a logical data and completeness.
2. Compared to survey data with the results of surveys of the relationship and by the Central Bureau of Statistics Palestinian implementation.
Can be summarized as sources of some non-statistical errors that have emerged during the implementation of the survey including the following:
Inability to meet the data in some cases the forms because of the lack of a home or be in the housing unit does not exist or are uninhabited and there are families not able to provide some data or refused to do so.
Some families did not take the form subject very seriously affecting the quality of the data provided.
Errors resulting from the method of asking the question by the researcher in the field.
Category understand the question and answer based on his understanding of it.
The inability of the technical team overseeing the project from the field visit on a regular basis for all duty stations in order to see the workflow and meet researchers and directing them, especially in the area J1.
There was difficulty in reaching the families because of the construction of the wall, especially in the Ram Area and also in the area of Bir Nabala where the switch was a full count area due to additional incompleteness caused by the absence of the families in the region because of the separation wall.
It was not easy to follow and adjust the time researchers because of the prevailing security conditions.
