Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The target population consists of all Palestinian households that usually reside in the Palestinian Territory with a sample size of 8,077 households.
Deviations from the Sample Design
The sampling frame is the list of enumeration areas peculiar to the 1997 Population, Housing and Establishment Census. Enumeration areas are residential areas containing about 150 housing units in average.
Weighting
Weights have been calculated for each sampling unit. Weight reflects the sampling procedures. To make the weighing procedure feasible and simple, we assumed that the households have been selected directly within the enumeration area .
Adjusted weights are important to reduce bias resulting from non-responses. Also “adjusting” has given consideration to demographic changes since the time of the Population, Housing and Establishments Census, 1997 and the time of carrying out the survey

Supervision
A plan for the fieldwork for both regions was placed. At this stage, the fieldwork team and the tools (questionnaires, maps, sample lists) were prepared. Two teams were set up to carry out the fieldwork:
Team one: It included 73 interviewers, 15 supervisors, and 9 assistants. They were divided in the northern, middle, and southern areas of the West Bank.
Team two: Included 38 interviewers, 6 supervisors and 4 assistants. They were divided in the northern, central, and southern parts of Gaza Strip.

Questionnaires
Questionnaires
In light of specifying the data needs, the questionnaire was developed after reviewing international recommendations and experiments in this area. This included holding a workshop at PCBS within the framework of debate among producers and users. The workshop was held on May 29, 2006 to discuss the survey indicators.
The Questionnaire for this survey, 2006, consists of the following parts in addition to the introductory data and quality control

Data Processing
Data Editing
Were trained in data entry to the program entry, the program was examined data on the pilot survey. In order to see the image of the situation and reduce any problems, there was constant contact with supervisors and auditors through the frequent visits to branch offices, and periodic meetings. It was also addressed to the problems faced by the researchers during the field work and clarify these matters
Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Since the data reported here are based on a sample survey and not on complete enumeration, they are subjected to two main types of errors: sampling errors and non-sampling errors.
Sampling errors are random outcomes of the sample design and are, therefore, easily measurable.
Non-sampling errors can occur at various stages of the survey implementation in data collection and data processing and are generally difficult to be evaluated statistically. They cover a wide range of errors, including errors resulting from non-response, sample frame coverage, data processing and response (both respondent and interviewer-related). The use of effective training and supervision and the careful design of questions are measures that have direct bearing on the magnitude of non-sampling errors and, hence, on the quality of the resulting data
