Sampling
The SHS 2013 interviewed 852 urban and 873 rural households. The frame used for selecting enumeration areas (EAs) was a mixed frame where the database of EAs for the UNFPA urban survey was used for all urban areas (in two strata: Hergaisa and Other Urban). The rural frame used the list of polling stations which was provided by the electoral commission.The sample frame used was the 2012 cartographic list of enumeration areas.
The sample employs a stratified two-staged clustered design with the Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) being the enumeration area. Within each enumeration area, 9 households were selected for interviews. Then, a listing approach was used to select these 9 households randomly for interviews. Three primary strata were defined as: rural, Hergaisa and other urban areas. The population proportion varied by stratum, and the general agreement in informal discussions was that about 50% of the population was urban and 50% were rural.
A total of 26 EAs had to be replaced, and except in the case of Hergaisa, the replacements were rural polling stations. The most prevalent problem in the rural area were in the Sool, Sannag and Sahil zones, and these were identified as problems with security. A practical approach was undertaken by using the “nearest secure neighbor”. The idea was to assure that the sample polling station in the same district had similar characteristics to those of the insecure sample PSU, in order to maintain the geographic representativeness of the sample and reduce the bias from the PSU nonresponse
The sampling weight is the inverse probability of selection, (calculated by multiplying the probabilities at each sampling stage). The selection probability for a household can be decomposed into the selection probability of the EA and the selection probability of the household within the EA.
