Sampling
The sample for the MICS Punjab 2011 was designed by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), to provide estimates on a large number of indicators on the situation of women and children including the socio-economic indicators at the provincial level for 9 divisions, 36 districts, 150 tehsils /towns, major cities, other urban and rural areas. The sample design was reviewed for adequacy and soundness by international consultants engaged by UNICEF Pakistan.
The sample was selected in two stages. Within each of the 287 sampling domains, Enumeration Areas (EA) (enumeration blocks in urban areas or village/ mouzas/ dehs in rural areas) were selected with probability proportional to size. Prior to the survey implementation, a complete listing of households in all the selected EAs was conducted. Based on the total number of households in each EA a systematic sample of 12 households in urban and 16 households in rural areas was randomly drawn. This formed the second stage of sampling. In selected households, all females aged 15-49 years and children under five years were identified for individual interviews. The total sample size for the survey was 102,048 households. The sample was not self-weighting and sample weights were used to report results.
All 7,250 sampled clusters were successfully surveyed. Out of 102,545 households selected for the survey, 97,995 were found to be occupied. 95,238 were successfully interviewed with a response rate of 97 percent. In interviewed households, 150,814 women aged 15-49 years were identified and 137,938 were successfully interviewed, i.e. response rate of 92 percent. Of the 74,126 children under 5 years listed in household questionnaires, 66,666 child questionnaires were answered with a response rate of 90 percent.The overall response rates for women and children under-five were 89 and 87 percent respectively.
Survey instrument
Questionnaires for the MICS Punjab, 2011 were based on MICS4 set of following three model Questionnaires, modified/customised to local conditions and to accommodate additional indicators approved by the Steering Committee.
- A Household Questionnaire which was used to collect information on all de jure household members (usual residents), the household, and the dwelling
- A Women Questionnaire administered in each household to all women aged 15-49 years
- A Child Questionnaire administered to mothers or caretakers for all children under 5 years living in the household

To manage huge fieldwork operation while assuring quality and proper supervision, the province was divided into ten regions of 3–5 districts: Bahawalpur, DG Khan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Lahore I, Lahore II, Multan, Rawalpindi, Sahiwal and Sargodha. Ten senior officers of BOS were designated as regional supervisors - one for each region. They were responsible for all aspects of the field work in their respective regions. Seventy-five field teams were constituted each comprising 7 members in urban and 9 in rural areas. In addition more than 300 staff was deployed for preparing listings of the households in the selected clusters.
In addition to standard training of field staff, Regional Supervisors, Team Supervisors, Measurers and Editors were given special trainings related to their specific duties. Two hours sessions for this purpose were held in the evening after standard training sessions.
As part of training, master trainers carried out mock interviews during the training. During the training two days were assigned for field work of supervisors, editors, interviewers and measurers. They were taken to nearby areas, not selected for the survey, and were involved in real time interviews, editing and measurements.
Seventy-five Team Supervisors led the interviewers‘ teams. Each team comprised two male & two female interviewers in urban areas and three males & three females in rural areas along with one exclusive measurer and field editor. A twelve-seater air conditioned vehicle was provided to each team for field travel. The male interviewers were responsible for locating sampled households, introduction and administering the Household Questionnaire. The female interviewers administered the women and children Questionnaires to eligible women and mothers or caretakers of children. The Measurers performed the anthropometric measurements on children.
Team Supervisors ensured that the visited household was one identified through the sampling process. The Field Editor ensured finalization of Questionnaires both in terms of completeness and accuracy before the team left the surveyed cluster.
The Questionnaires were translated from English to Urdu language for data collection and again retranslated into English for Regional Office for South Asia (ROSA), UNICEF and Global MICS team, New York. The Questionnaires were pretested in Southern, Central and Northern zones of the Punjab. One District/ Tehsil was selected randomly and within the Tehsil, one urban site (12 households) and one rural site (16 households) called cluster, was enumerated as per guidelines of MICS4 methodology.
The pretesting teams tested the salt used for cooking in the households for iodine content, observed the structure of walls, floors and roofs, saw places for handwashing, and measured weights and heights of children aged under 5 years. In the light of findings of the pretesting, questionnaires were improved and finalized.
Data processing
The data entry and cleaning operation was organized at a central location i.e. Lahore under the supervision of a qualified data management organization. Data were entered using Census and Survey Processing System (CSPro). In order to ensure quality control, all questionnaires were double entered and internal consistency checks were performed. Procedures and standard programmes developed under the global MICS4 programme and adapted to the MICS Punjab, Questionnaire were used throughout. The procedures followed for ensuring double data entry and cleaning is depicted in the Flow Chart at Annexure-I. Data processing began almost simultaneously with data collection and was completed within 15 days of completion of field work. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, and the model syntax and tabulation plans developed by UNICEF.
The data management team produced data quality tables on weekly basis which were shared with BOS on each Friday and discussed on each Saturday. The quality tables included descriptive statistics on key variables for each team based on number of questionnaires entered up to that time. In the light of performance shown by the teams in the quality tables instructions were immediately issued to the teams performing below average. Moreover, to enhance data quality, other corrective steps were also taken including reshuffling of team(s) member(s) reporting inadequately and arranging additional trainings in the field where felt necessary.
Initial analysis, for cleaning purpose, was carried out by examining frequency distribution of all variables and looking at possible errors in data entry and otherwise. Dummy tables reflecting cross-tables between dependent and independent variables were generated focusing on presenting frequencies and simple bivariate tables. Finally, data was exported from CSPro to SPSS software tabulation programme for construction of analysis files (comprising HH: Household, HL: Household listing, WM: Women and CH: Children); production of tabulations; analysis of sampling errors/ confidence intervals; and production of datasets and tabulations for report writing.
