Sampling
In the absence of a well-developed sampling-frame for forcibly displaced populations in the Americas, the High Frequency Survey employed a multi-frame sampling strategy where respondents entered the sample through one of three channels: (i) those who opt-in to complete an online self-administered version of the questionnaire which was widely circulated through refugee social media; (ii) persons identified through UNHCR and partner databases who were remotely-interviewed by phone; and (iii) random selection from the cases approaching UNHCR for registration or assistance. The total sample size was 268 households. At the time of the survey, the population of concern was estimated at around 25000 individuals.
A weight was calculated dividing the estimated population size by the sample size.
Survey instrument
Questionaire contained the following sections: journey, family composition, vulnerability, basic Needs, coping capacity,well-being,COVID-19 Impact.
