The survey is the 7th KDHS implemented in the country.\n\nThe primary objective of the 2022 KDHS is to provide up-to-date estimates of basic sociodemographic, nutrition and health indicators. Specifically, the 2022 KDHS collected information on:\n\u2022 Fertility levels and contraceptive prevalence\n\u2022 Childhood mortality\n\u2022 Maternal and child health\n\u2022 Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI)\n\u2022 Anthropometric measures for children, women, and men\n\u2022 Children\u2019s nutrition\n\u2022 Woman\u2019s dietary diversity\n\u2022 Knowledge and behaviour related to the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases\n\u2022 Noncommunicable diseases and other health issues\n\u2022 Extent and pattern of gender-based violence\n\u2022 Female genital mutilation.\n\nThe information collected in the 2022 KDHS will assist policymakers and programme managers in monitoring, evaluating, and designing programmes and strategies for improving the health of Kenya\u2019s population. The 2022 KDHS also provides indicators relevant to monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Kenya, as well as indicators relevant for monitoring national and subnational development agendas such as the Kenya Vision 2030, Medium Term Plans (MTPs), and County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs).","coll_dates":[{"start":"2022-02-17","end":"2022-07-13","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Kenya","abbreviation":"KEN"}],"geog_coverage":"National coverage","analysis_unit":"- Household\n- Individual\n- Children age 0-5\n- Woman age 15-49\n- Man age 15-54","universe":"The survey covered all de jure household members (usual residents), all women aged 15-49, men ageed 15-54, and all children aged 0-4 resident in the household.","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey covered the following topics:\n\nHOUSEHOLD\n\u2022 Basic information on each person in the household (name, sex, age, education, relationship to the household head, survival of parents for children under age 18)\n\u2022 Disability\n\u2022 Assets, land ownership, and housing characteristics\n\u2022 Sanitation, water, and other environmental health issues\n\u2022 Health expenditures\n\u2022 Traffic accident and injury\n\u2022 COVID-19 (prevalence, vaccination, and related deaths)\n\u2022 Household food consumption\n\nWOMAN\n\u2022 Sociodemographic characteristics\n\u2022 Reproduction\n\u2022 Family planning\n\u2022 Maternal health care and breastfeeding\n\u2022 Vaccination and health of children\n\u2022 Children\u2019s nutrition\n\u2022 Woman\u2019s dietary diversity\n\u2022 Early childhood development\n\u2022 Marriage and sexual activity\n\u2022 Fertility preferences\n\u2022 Husband\u2019s background characteristics and woman\u2019s employment activity\n\u2022 HIV\/AIDS, other STIs, and TB\n\u2022 Other health issues\n\u2022 Chronic diseases\n\u2022 Female genital mutilation\n\u2022 Gender-based violence\n\nMAN\n\u2022 Sociodemographic characteristics\n\u2022 Reproduction\n\u2022 Family planning\n\u2022 Marriage and sexual activity\n\u2022 Fertility preferences\n\u2022 Employment and gender roles\n\u2022 HIV\/AIDS, other STIs, and TB\n\u2022 Other health issues\n\u2022 Chronic diseases\n\u2022 Female genital mutilation\n\u2022 Gender-based violence\n\nBIOMARKER\n\u2022 Weight and height measurement for children age 0-4\n\u2022 Weight and height measurement for women age 15-49\n\u2022 Weight and height measurement for women age 15-54\n\nFIELDWORKER\n\u2022 Background information on each fieldworkers"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Kenya National Bureau of Statistics","abbreviation":"KNBS","affiliation":"Government of Kenya"}],"sampling_procedure":"The sample for the 2022 KDHS was drawn from the Kenya Household Master Sample Frame (K-HMSF). This is the frame that KNBS currently uses to conduct household-based sample surveys in Kenya. The frame is based on the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census (KPHC) data, in which a total of 129,067 enumeration areas (EAs) were developed. Of these EAs, 10,000 were selected with probability proportional to size to create the K-HMSF. The 10,000 EAs were randomised into four equal subsamples. A survey can utilise a subsample or a combination of subsamples based on the sample size requirements. The 2022 KDHS sample was drawn from subsample one of the K-HMSF. The EAs were developed into clusters through a process of household listing and geo-referencing. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 established a devolved system of government in which Kenya is divided into 47 counties. To design the frame, each of the 47 counties in Kenya was stratified into rural and urban strata, which resulted in 92 strata since Nairobi City and Mombasa counties are purely urban.\n\nThe 2022 KDHS was designed to provide estimates at the national level, for rural and urban areas separately, and, for some indicators, at the county level. The sample size was computed at 42,300 households, with 25 households selected per cluster, which resulted in 1,692 clusters spread across the country, 1,026 clusters in rural areas, and 666 in urban areas. The sample was allocated to the different sampling strata using power allocation to enable comparability of county estimates.\n\nThe 2022 KDHS employed a two-stage stratified sample design where in the first stage, 1,692 clusters were selected from the K-HMSF using the Equal Probability Selection Method (EPSEM). The clusters were selected independently in each sampling stratum. Household listing was carried out in all the selected clusters, and the resulting list of households served as a sampling frame for the second stage of selection, where 25 households were selected from each cluster. However, after the household listing procedure, it was found that some clusters had fewer than 25 households; therefore, all households from these clusters were selected into the sample. This resulted in 42,022 households being sampled for the 2022 KDHS. Interviews were conducted only in the pre-selected households and clusters; no replacement of the preselected units was allowed during the survey data collection stages.\n\nFor further details on sample design, see APPENDIX A of the survey report.","coll_mode":["Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]"],"research_instrument":"Four questionnaires were used in the 2022 KDHS: Household Questionnaire, Woman\u2019s Questionnaire, Man\u2019s Questionnaire, and the Biomarker Questionnaire. The questionnaires, based on The DHS Program\u2019s model questionnaires, were adapted to reflect the population and health issues relevant to Kenya. In addition, a self-administered Fieldworker Questionnaire was used to collect information about the survey\u2019s fieldworkers.","coll_situation":"A total of 314 personnel (48 supervisors, 48 biomarker technicians, 144 female interviewers, 48 male interviewers, and 26 reserves) were trained at a central location from 17 January to 13 February 2022. The training included a detailed question-by-question explanation of the questionnaires, accompanied by explanations from the interviewer\u2019s manual, role-play demonstrations, group discussions, in-class practice interviewing in pairs, and assessment tests.\n\nAnthropometry training provided the biomarker technicians with instruction, demonstrations, and practice in length\/height and weight measurements for children and adults. The technicians completed a standardisation exercise with measurements of children that were intended to gauge and improve accuracy\nand precision. Restandardisation exercises were conducted for those who did not pass the standardisation exercises.\n\nData collection for the 2022 KDHS was conducted by 48 teams from 17 February to 13 July 2022. Each team included one supervisor, one biomarker technician, three female interviewers, one male interviewer, and a driver. At the county level, the KDHS field teams were assisted by KNBS county statistical officers who provided links to National Government Administration Officers (NGAOs). Prior to the data collection, a county mobilisation team conducted targeted publicity within the clusters to prepare for the fieldwork. The KNBS field staff and village elders assisted in identifying the sampled clusters and households. Monitoring of data collection was undertaken by Technical Working Committee and Steering Committee members throughout the data collection period. The aim of monitoring was to ensure that the survey was conducted according to protocol and to provide real-time solutions to any challenges that were encountered.","weight":"A spreadsheet containing all sampling parameters and selection probabilities was prepared to help calculate the design weights. Design weights were adjusted for household nonresponse and individual nonresponse to obtain the sampling weights for households and for women. Nonresponse is adjusted at the sampling stratum level. For the household sampling weight, the household design weight is multiplied by the inverse of the household response rate, by stratum. For the women\u2019s individual sampling weight, the household sampling weight is multiplied by the inverse of the women\u2019s individual response rate, by stratum. After adjusting for nonresponse, the sampling weights are normalised to get the final standard weights that appear in the data files. The normalisation process is aimed at obtaining a total number of unweighted cases equal to the total number of weighted cases using normalised weights at the national level, for the total number of households and for women. Normalisation is done by multiplying the sampling weight by the estimated total sampling fraction obtained from the survey for the household weight and for the individual woman\u2019s weight and men\u2019s weight, respectively. The normalised weights are relative weights that are valid for estimating means proportions, ratios, and rates, but they are not valid for estimation population totals and nor for pooled data for any analysis.\n\nFor further details on sample weights, see APPENDIX A.4 of volume 2 report.","cleaning_operations":"CAPI was used during data collection. The devices used for CAPI were Android-based computer tablets programmed with a mobile version of CSPro. The CSPro software was developed jointly by the U.S. Census Bureau, Serpro S.A., and The DHS Program. Programming of questionnaires into the Android application was done by ICF, while configuration of tablets was completed by KNBS in collaboration with ICF. All fieldwork personnel were assigned usernames, and devices were password protected to ensure the integrity of the data.\n\nWork was assigned by supervisors and shared via Bluetooth\u00ae to interviewers\u2019 tablets. After completion, assigned work was shared with supervisors, who conducted initial data consistency checks and edits and then submitted data to the central servers hosted at KNBS via SyncCloud. Data were downloaded from the central servers and checked against the inventory of expected returns to account for all data collected in the field. SyncCloud was also used to generate field check tables to monitor progress and identify any errors, which were communicated back to the field teams for correction.\n\nSecondary editing was done by members of the KNBS and ICF central office team, who resolved any errors that were not corrected by field teams during data collection. A CSPro batch editing tool was used for cleaning and tabulation during data analysis."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"A total of 42,022 households were selected for the survey, of which 38,731 (92%) were found to be occupied. Among the occupied households, 37,911 were successfully interviewed, yielding a response rate of 98%. The response rates for urban and rural households were 96% and 99%, respectively. In the interviewed households, 33,879 women age 15-49 were identified as eligible for individual interviews. Of these, 32,156 women were interviewed, yielding a response rate of 95%. The response rates among women selected for the full and short questionnaires were similar (95%). In the households selected for the men\u2019s survey, 16,552 men age 15-54 were identified as eligible for individual interviews and 14,453 were successfully interviewed, yielding a response rate of 87%.","sampling_error_estimates":"The estimates from a sample survey are affected by two types of errors: (1) non-sampling errors, and (2) sampling errors. Non-sampling errors are the results of mistakes made in implementing data collection and data processing, such as failure to locate and interview the correct household, misunderstanding of the questions on the part of either the interviewer or the respondent, and data entry errors. Although numerous efforts were made during the implementation of the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (2022 KDHS) to minimise this type of error, non-sampling errors are impossible to avoid and difficult to evaluate statistically.\n\nSampling errors, on the other hand, can be evaluated statistically. The sample of respondents selected in the 2022 KDHS is only one of many samples that could have been selected from the same population, using the same design and identical size. Each of these samples would yield results that differ somewhat from the results of the actual sample selected. Sampling errors are a measure of the variability between all possible samples. Although the degree of variability is not known exactly, it can be estimated from the survey results.\n\nA sampling error is usually measured in terms of the standard error for a particular statistic (mean, percentage, etc.), which is the square root of the variance. The standard error can be used to calculate confidence intervals within which the true value for the population can reasonably be assumed to fall. For example, for any given statistic calculated from a sample survey, the value of that statistic will fall within a range of plus or minus two times the standard error of that statistic in 95 percent of all possible samples of identical size and design.\n\nIf the sample of respondents had been selected as a simple random sample, it would have been possible to use straightforward formulas for calculating sampling errors. However, the 2022 KDHS sample is the result of a multi-stage stratified design, and, consequently, it was necessary to use more complex formulae. The computer software used to calculate sampling errors for the 2022 KDHS is a SAS program. This program used the Taylor linearisation method for variance estimation for survey estimates that are means, proportions or ratios. The Jackknife repeated replication method is used for variance estimation of more complex statistics such as fertility and mortality rates.\n\nA more detailed description of estimates of sampling errors are presented in APPENDIX B of the survey report.","data_appraisal":"Data Quality Tables\n\n- Household age distribution\n- Age distribution of eligible and interviewed women\n- Age distribution of eligible and interviewed men\n- Age displacement at age 14\/15\n- Age displacement at age 49\/50\n- Pregnancy outcomes by years preceding the survey\n- Completeness of reporting\n- Standardization exercise results from anthropometry training\n- Height and weight data completeness and quality for children\n- Height measurements from random subsample of measured children\n- Interference in height and weight measurements of children\n- Interference in height and weight measurements of women and men\n- Heaping in anthropometric measurements for children (digit preference)\n- Food insecurity data completeness, infit and outfit model statistics, and Rasch reliability\n- Observation of mosquito nets\n- Observation of handwashing facility\n- School attendance by single year of age\n- Vaccination cards photographed\n- Number of enumeration areas completed by month and region\n\nSee details of the data quality tables in Appendix C of the survey report."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"contact":[{"name":"The DHS Program","affiliation":"","email":"","uri":"https:\/\/dhsprogram.com"}],"cit_req":"Recommended citations are available at https:\/\/www.dhsprogram.com\/publications\/Recommended-Citations.cfm","conditions":"Request Dataset Access\nThe following applies to DHS, MIS, AIS and SPA survey datasets (Surveys, GPS, and HIV).\nTo request dataset access, you must first be a registered user of the website.
