The sampling frame consisted of a master sample of enumeration areas (EAs) selected from the Population Housing and Establishment Census 2007 The master sample consists of area units of relatively equal size (number of households, about 150 housing units), and these units has been used as primary sampling units (PSUs).
Sample Size
The sample size 7,900 households located in 300 enumeration areas in the Palestinian Territory, distributed by 5000 households in West Bank and 2500 in Gaza Strip. The design considered dissemination on governorate level and the localities affected by the annexation wall.
Sample design
The sample is two stage stratified cluster sample with two stages:
First stage: selection a stratified systematic random sample of 300 Enumeration Areas (200 in west Bank, 100 in Gaza strip).
Second stage: selection a systematic random sample of 25 households from each enumeration area selected in the first stage. And then to choose a legible person aged 18 years and above to be the respondent of the questionnaire questions.

Supervision
Special forms were designed for following up on receiving and handing questionnaires at all levels and to follow up on the daily achievements of the interviewers. The supervisors distributed work on the team using a map and sample guiding list. Daily and weekly reports were produced and handed to the fieldwork coordinator and the project administration explaining the number of completed interviews, non-response cases, and the cases when households could not be contacted after three visits. Moreover, technical staff and fieldwork coordinators conducted field visits to monitor fieldwork and ensure data quality as well as to help with solving problems facing the fieldwork team.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Statistical Errors:
Sampling rather than comprehensive enumeration has been used to collect data in this survey. Therefore it is liable to two types of errors affecting the quality of survey data, sampling (statistical errors) and non-sampling errors (non-statistical errors). Statistical errors mean the errors resulting from sample designing and this is computed simply. Variance and effect of sample design has been computed for the Palestinian Territory, the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Non-Statistical Errors:
Non-statistical errors, on the other hand, could not be determined easily, due to the diversity of sources from which they may arise, e.g., the interviewer, respondent, editor, coder, and data entry operator.
