Sampling

Sampling Procedure

This dataset is related to the whole demographic surveillance area population. The number of respondents has varied over the last 13 years (2002-2015), with variations being observed at both household level and at Individual level. As at 31st December 2015, 66,848 were being observed under the Nairobi HDSS living in 25,812 households distributed across two informal settlements(Korogocho and Viwandani). The variable IndividualId uniquely identifies every respondent observed while the variable LocationId uniquely identifies the room in which the individual was living at any point in time. To identify individuals who were living together at any one point in time (a household) the data can be split on location and observation dates.

Deviations from Sample Design

None

Response Rate

Over the years the response rate at household level has varied between 95% and 97% with response rate at Individual Level varying between 92% and 95%. Challenges to acheiving a 100% response rate have included:

1. High Population Mobility within the study area

2. High Population Attrition

3. Respondent Fatigue

4. Security in some areas
