Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Different criterias were taken into account when sample size was determined. The level of sampling error for the main indicators was considered, the result could be published at 4 subpopulations (National level, The West Bank Level, Gaza Strip level and Governorate level), and 10% incomplete questionnaire was assumed.
The overall sample was 347 EAs, 241 in the West Bank and 106 in Gaza Strip. The number of households in the sample was 8,276 households, 5,733 in the West Bank and 2,543 in Gaza Strip.
4.2.4 Sample Design:
The sample is a three-stage stratified cluster random sample. The first stage involved the selection of a stratified random sample comprised of 347 enumeration areas. It should be noticed that the enumeration areas from localities that receive the transmission of many private (local) TV stations were given more opportunity. The second stage involved the enumeration of the first 24 dwellings from the beginning of each selected enumeration area. The third stage involved the random selection of two households member, one in the age group 18 years and over, and one in the age group (6-17) years. The selection of household members from the selected household in the field is done by using KISH random tables.

For the West Bank, two levels of stratification were made:
1. Stratification by Governorate.
2. Stratification by classifying localities within Governorate into two strata:
· Governorate center (main city).
· Localities outside Governorate centers.
