Description International recommendations and standards in the area of violence statistics were viewed during the first stages of developing the questionnaire. The experiences of other countries in conducting such surveys were also reviewed while taking into consideration special Palestinian specificities while applying this survey. The questionnaire was designed with reliance on PCBS second experience in conducting a violence survey during 2011.

The questionnaire for the Violence Survey, 2019 was developed in cooperation with our partners in the National Advisory Committee for the Violence Survey and with the help of several experts. Many observations provided by experienced persons were applied reflecting a purely Palestinian experience. The importance of the survey was also stemmed from the urgent need of the local community for the indicators it provides.

The questionnaire consists of eight main sections as follows:
· Identification data and Quality Control: It was asked to any member of a household aged 18 years or more. This section covered all household members in the sample without exception.
· Housing Conditions: It was asked to any member of the household aged 18 years or more to identify the conditions of the household's, financial conditions, income, financial needs, and spending capabilities.
· Currently married or ever married women aged (15-64 years): This section was asked to any woman who is currently married (at the time of the interview) or has been married in the past by selecting one woman from the household (should there be several women) by using the Kish Selection Method. If there was more than one disabled woman in the households, women with disability have completed separate questionnaires and were registered separately.
· Currently married or ever married men aged (18-64 years): This section was asked to any man who is currently married (at the time of the interview) or has been married in the past by selecting one man from the households (should there be several men) by using the Kish Selection Method. If there was more than one man with a disability in the households belonging to this group, men with disability have completed separate questionnaires and were registered separately.
· Individuals aged (18-64 years) who have never been married: This section targets any individual who had never been married, male or female, by selecting him or her from the households. If there was more than one individual belonging to this group, the Kish Selection Method was used to select the sample as in the above-mentioned method. If there was more than one individual (male or female) with a disability, each has completed a separate questionnaire, and they were all registered.
· Children aged (0-11 years): A male or female child was selected from households. Questions concerning this age group were answered by women who are currently married or have been married in the past and who are the mothers or caregivers of those children. This section included children with disability.
· Children aged (12-17 years): This section targets children directly whether they were males or females. If there was more than one child of this age group in the households, the Kish Selection Method was used to select a child by using the same above-mentioned methodology to select the sample. If there was more than one child with a disability (whether male or female), each was provided with a separate questionnaire and they were all registered.
· Elderly persons aged (65 years and above): This section was assigned especially to the elderly, whether males or females. If there was more than one elderly person in the households aged (65 years and above), all of them were interviewed.

Abstract The Violence Survey in the Palestinian Society 2019 is a specialized valuable survey, which was implemented in Palestine for the third time. The first survey was conducted in 2005 and the second followed in 2011. The survey is of great importance as it sheds light on the phenomenon of violence in the Palestinian society including all its forms such as violence occurring within households and communities or that imposed by the Israeli occupation. The current version provides an opportunity to compare its findings with those of the previous versions to observe the change in the size of this deep-rooted phenomenon in the Palestinian society, its abundance, changes in trends, and related developmental and humanitarian characteristics. The survey's current version aims at providing a comprehensive and updated database on violence targeting women, children, the youth, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. Such a database may help decision-makers and policymakers to prepare plans and programs, and to design evidence-based interventions to uplift these marginalized social sectors, meet their needs, and provide them with much-needed services.
