Description

Definition

KEDISTOVERSAMP reports whether the respondent was interviewed in a Kenyan district selected for oversampling when fielding the 1998 Kenyan DHS and, if so, the name of the district. Persons in districts not selected for oversampling are coded "99" (not in universe) for this variable. The sample design description in Appendix A of the 1998 Kenyan DHS final report states, "Selected districts were oversampled in the 1998 KDHS in order to produce reliable estimates for certain variables at the district level."
