Sampling

Sampling procedure
The sample for the Swaziland Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2000 was designed to provide estimates of health indicators at the national level, urban, rural and company town areas and for the four regions: Hhohho, Manzini, Shiselweni and Lubombo. The sample was selected in two stages. At the first stage , 300 clusters were selected with probability proportional to size. After a household listing was carried out within the selected clusters, a systematic sample of 4500 households was drawn. Because the sample was stratified by region, it is not self-weighting. For reporting national level results, sample weights are used.
Response rate
Although 4500 households were selected, 4192 were successfully interviewed for a household response rate of 90 percent. In the interviewed households 5320 eligible women (age 15-49) were identified. Of these, 5271 were successfully interviewed, yielding a response rate of 99 percent. In addition, 3525 children under age five were listed in the household questionnaire. Of these, questionnaires were completed for 3509 for a response rate of 99 percent.

Questionnaires
The questionnaires for the Swaziland MICS were based on the MICS Model Questionnaire with some modifications and additions. A household questionnaire was administered in each household, which collected various information on household members including sex, age, literacy, marital status, and orphanhood status. The household questionnaire also includes education, child labor, water and sanitation, and salt iodization modules. In addition to a household questionnaire, questionnaires were administered in each household for women age 15- 49 and children under age five. For children, the questionnaire was administered to the mother or caretaker of the child.

The questionnaire for women contains the following modules:
Child mortality
Tetanus toxoid
Maternal and newborn health
Contraceptive use
HIV/AIDS.

The questionnaire for children under age five includes modules on:
Birth registration and early learning
Vitamin A
Breastfeeding
Care of Illness
Malaria
Immunization
Anthropometry.

Information on Vitamin A and Malaria have not been analysed . Reasons for not incuding Vitamin A is that there is no current programme in place on Vit A supplement in the country. Reasons for living malaria module out is that data collection was conducted in the off season for malaria in the country.

Data Processing

Data editing
Data were entered on four microcomputers using the IMPS software. In order to ensure quality control, all questionnaires were double entered and internal consistency checks were performed. Procedures and standard programs developed under MICS and adapted to the Swaziland questionnaire were used throughout. Data processing began in October 2000 and finished in December 2000.
