Abstract
The Monitoring of the Effects of the Economic Deterioration on Refugee Households dataset is a Phone survey of Syrian and non-Syrian households to monitor the changes over time in key areas in the context of the deteriorating economic situation in Lebanon.The UNHCR call center was used to conduct the two waves of data collection: 20-28 February (Wave I) and 17 April-15 May (Wave II). Several call attempts were made at different times of the day to reach the largest possible number of households.
After the Wave I of the survey, which was collected before the first case of Covid 19 was reported in Lebanon, the Wave II was conducted to account for the impacts of the spread of the Covid 19 virus on refugees, the level of awarness among them and their accessibility to hygiene items and health care services. This dataset includes only Wave1 for the non-Syrian refugees cases.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
In order to facilitate regular monitoring of the change for households nationally, this monitoring approach employed a phone survey approach conducted on a quarterly basis with wave 1 starting in February 2020.
To achieve this, a simple random sampling approach was used, extracted from UNHCR database in Lebanon. Two nationally representative samples were extracted: (1) Syrian refugees, and (2) Non-Syrian refugees. Each sample is estimated at 500 (total 1,000) refugee households.
To account for non-response rate, the data samples were enlarged: 1,000 Syrians and 1,000 non-syrians.
