Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sampling Frame:
Sample frame is the list of all households who are staying in Palestine, there addresses are recorded in statistical enumeration(average of 124 households) areas in addition to the building numbers and housing units depending on the 2007 Census in Palestine. The sampling frame contains all the auxiliary and identification data which help to create the strata and to allocate the sample.
Sample Size:
The sample size is 3278 household for Palestine level, 2204 household responded.
Sample design:
Sample type:
Two Stage Stratified cluster sample where:
1. the first stage : selection of a PPS random sample of 111 Enumeration Areas (probability proportional to the size)
2. The second stage: selection systematic random sample of 20 households in each selected enumeration area in the first stage.

Deviations from the Sample Design
There are no deviations in the proposed sample design
Response Rate
The survey sample consisted of 3278 households, of which 2204 households completed the interview: 1264 households from the West Bank and 940 households in the Gaza Strip. Weights were modified to account for the non-response rate.
Weighting
The weight of statistical units (sampling unit) in the sample is defined as the mathematical inverse of the selection probability where the sample of the survey is a two-stage stratified cluster sample. In the first stage we calculate the weight of enumeration areas based on the probability of each enumeration area. In the second stage we calculate the weight of households in each enumeration area. Initial household weights resulted from the product of the weight of the first stage and the weight of the second stage. The final household weights were obtained after adjustment of the initial weights with the household estimates for mid-2016 according to design strata (governorate, locality type).
Weights for the ROSTER file were calculated as follows:
1-adding the household weights (wh) for each person per household, known as the primary weight of person.
2-adjusting the primary person weights in relation to the number of population in December - 2016 by these adjusted levels: (region (West Bank, Gaza Strip), (gender (male, female), 17-year age group.
3-Finally, we obtain the final person weight in each adjusted level which the person belongs to.

Data Processing
Data Editing
The data was computed and processed using the ACCESS and SPSS packages. The data entry process was organized into two files that represent the main parts of the form. The design of the input program used took into account the development of relationships between the form data to control the data and discover errors.
Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
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 (sampling errors) and non-sampling errors (non-sampling errors). sampling 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.
Data Appraisal
Non-sampling 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.
However, several measures were adopted to minimize the effects of non-sampling errors on the data. To avoid errors and reducing their effects, the interviewers, editors, and coders
