Sampling procedure

Design

The methodology that was chosen reflects the purpose of the survey. To balance a desire for a large, representative sample with the expense of a detailed survey instrument, a sample size of 2,016 households was selected. Three separate populations were covered: households in Baku, households outside of Baku and households of Displaced Persons. Within each of those populations, the sample was chosen in such a manner that each household had an equal probability of being selected. At the same time, the logistics of locating the households and conducting the interviews within a specific time frame required that the households be grouped into "workloads" of 12 households each. The Azerbaijan Survey of Living Conditions sample design included 408 households in the eleven raions that make up the city of Baku, 1200 households in the population outside of Baku, and 408 households among the registered Internally Displaced Persons residing throughout the country. To choose the sample outside of Baku, Baku was excluded from this list as were all the population points located in raions of the country currently occupied (Agdam, Xankendi, Xodjali, Xodjvendi, Susha, Kubatli, Zangelan, Kelbadjar, Lachin, Fizuli and Djebrali). The remainder of the country included 3453 population points.

Sampling

(a) First stage of sampling: Using the list of actual and estimated number of households for each population point, 100 workloads were spread across the population points.

(b) Second stage of sampling: In order to select the households within the selected population points, household lists maintained by the administrative office of each Selsoviet were used privately built housing units would be listed.

Separate data entry programs were prepared for the household and population point questionnaires. The CLIPPER 5.0 programs were developed specifically for use in the Azerbaijan Survey of Living Conditions and featured entry screens formatted to reflect the questionnaire pages with range checks for each value. All data input was done in the central office in Baku as the questionnaires were returned from the field. Some consistency checks were made in the data entry but there was no opportunity for re-interview. This differs from the standard LSMS field methodology.

Abstract

The 2006 Azerbaijan Demographic and Health Survey (2006 AzDHS) is a nationally representative sample survey designed to provide information on population and health issues in Azerbaijan. The primary goal of the survey was to develop a single integrated set of demographic and health data pertaining to the population of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The 2006 AzDHS was conducted from July to November by the State Statistical Committee (SSC) of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Macro International Inc. provided technical support for the survey through the MEASURE DHS project. USAID Caucasus, Azerbaijan provided funding for the survey through the MEASURE DHS project. MEASURE DHS is sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to assist countries worldwide in obtaining information on key population and health indicators. The UNICEF/Azerbaijan country office was instrumental for political mobilization during the early stages of the 2006 AzDHS negotiation with the Government of Azerbaijan and also supported the survey through in-kind contributions.

The 2006 AzDHS collected national- and regional-level data on fertility and contraceptive use, maternal and child health, adult health, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The survey obtained detailed information on these issues from women of reproductive age and, on certain topics, from men as well.

The 2006 AzDHS results are intended to provide the information needed to evaluate existing social programs and to design new strategies for improving the health of Azerbaijanis and health services for the people of Azerbaijan. The 2006 AzDHS also contributes to the growing international database on demographic and health-related variables.

Sampling procedure

The sample was designed to permit detailed analysis, including the estimation of rates of fertility, infant/child mortality, and abortion, for the national level, for Baku, and for urban and rural areas separately. Many indicators are available separately for each of the economic regions in Azerbaijan except the Autonomous Republic of Nakhichevan (conducting the survey in Nakhichevan was complicated, since this region is in the blockade).

A representative probability sample of households was selected for the 2006 AzDHS sample. The sample was selected in two stages. In the first stage, 318 clusters in Baku and 8 other economic regions were selected from a list of enumeration areas from the master sample frame that was designed for the 1999 Population Census. In the second stage, a complete listing of households was carried out in each selected cluster. Households were then systematically selected from each cluster for participation in the survey. This design resulted in a final sample of 7,619 households.

Because of the non-proportional allocation of the sample to the different economic regions, sampling weights will be required in all analysis using the DHS data to ensure the actual representativity of the sample at both the national and regional levels. The sampling weight for each household is the inverse of its overall selection probability with correction for household non-response; the individual weight is the household weight with correction of individual non-response. Sampling weights are further normalized in order to give the total number of unweighted cases equal to the total number of weighted cases at the national level, for both household weights and individual weights.

All women age 15-49 who were either permanent residents of the households in the 2006 AzDHS sample or visitors present in the household on the night before the survey were eligible to be interviewed. In addition, all men age 15-59 in one-third of the households selected for the survey were eligible to be interviewed if they were either permanent residents or visitors present in the household on the night before the survey. Interviews were completed with 8,444 women and 2,558 men.

Note: See detailed description of sample design in APPENDIX A of the Final Report.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

Three questionnaires were used in the AzDHS: Household Questionnaire, Women’s Questionnaire, and Men’s Questionnaire. The household and individual questionnaires were based on model survey instruments developed in the MEASURE DHS program. The model questionnaires were adapted for use by experts from the SSC and Ministry of Health (MOH). Input was also sought from a number of nongovernmental organizations. Additionally, at the request of UNICEF, the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) modules on early child education and development, birth registration, and child discipline were adapted for the 2006 AzDHS instrument. The questionnaires were prepared in English and translated into Azerbaijani and Russian. The household and individual questionnaires were pretested in May 2006.

The Household Questionnaire was used to list all usual members of and visitors to the selected households and to collect information on the socioeconomic status of the household. The first part of the Household Questionnaire collected information on the age, sex, educational attainment, and relationship of each household member or visitor to the household. This information provides basic demographic data for Azerbaijan households. It also was used to identify the women and men who were eligible for the individual interview (i.e., women age 15-49 and men age 15-59). In the second part of the Household Questionnaire, there were questions on housing characteristics (e.g., the flooring material, the source of water, and the type of toilet facilities), on ownership of a variety of consumer goods, and other questions relating to the socioeconomic status of the household. In addition, the Household Questionnaire was used to obtain information on child discipline, education, and development; to record height and weight measurements of women, men, and children under age five; and to record hemoglobin measurements of women and children under age five.

The Women’s Questionnaire obtained information from women age 15-49 on the following topics:- - Background characteristics - Pregnancy history - Abortion history - Antenatal, delivery, and postnatal care - Knowledge, attitudes, and use of contraception - Reproductive and adult health - Vaccinations, birth registration, and childhood illness and treatment - Breastfeeding and weaning practices - Marriage and recent sexual activity - Fertility preferences - Knowledge of and attitudes toward AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases - Knowledge of and attitudes toward tuberculosis - Hypertension and other

The Men’s Questionnaire, administered to men age 15-59, covered the following topics: - Background characteristics - Reproductive health - Marriage and recent sexual activity - Attitudes toward and use of condoms - Fertility preferences - Employment and gender roles - Attitudes toward women’s status - Knowledge of and attitudes toward AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases - Knowledge of and attitudes toward tuberculosis - Hypertension and other adult health issues - Smoking and alcohol consumption

Blood pressure measurements of women and men were recorded in their individual questionnaires.

Cleaning operations

The processing of the Azerbaijan DHS results began shortly after the fieldwork commenced. Completed questionnaires were returned regularly from the field to SSC headquarters in Baku, where they were entered and edited by data processing personnel who were specially trained for this task. The data processing personnel included a supervisor, a questionnaire administrator, several office editors, 10 data entry operators, and a secondary editor. The concurrent processing of the data was an advantage since the survey technical staff was able to advise field teams of problems detected during the data entry using tables generated to check various data quality parameters. As a result, specific feedback was given to the teams to improve their performance. The data entry and editing phase of the survey was completed in late January 2007.

Response rate

A total of 7,619 households were selected for the sample, of which 7,341 were found at the time of fieldwork. The main reason for the difference is that some of the dwelling units that were occupied during the household listing operation were either vacant or the household was away for an extended period at the time of interview. Of the households that were found, 98 percent were successfully interviewed.

In these households, 8,652 women were identified as eligible for the individual interview. Interviews were completed with 98 percent of the women. Of the 2,717 eligible men identified, 94 percent were successfully interviewed.

Note: See summarized response rates by residence (urban/rural) in Table 1.1 of the Final Report.

Sampling error estimates

The estimates from a sample survey are affected by two types of errors: nonsampling errors and sampling errors. Nonsampling 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

Abstract

The Household Budget Survey conducted by the State Statistical Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan is the main source of information for analysis of living standards of separate population groups, income differentiation and poverty levels in the country. The survey was introduced in 2001 and has been carried out annually since then.

The Azerbaijan HBS is based on a random probability sample, which was designed to give nationally representative results and allow comparison between main regions of the country and different categories of the population. Approximately 8,700 households are interviewed annually. The annual sample is divided into about 2,200 households per quarter, with a full rotation of households occurring each quarter.

The survey collects information on household income and expenditure, housing conditions, ownership of consumer durables, access to agricultural land and demographic characteristics of household members.

• Private households;

A household is defined as a single person or a group of persons with a common budget and residence (house, flat, etc.). The members of the household may not be relatives even if living together and sharing a common household. Persons living in institutional households (elderly houses, hospitals, military barracks etc.) are excluded from the survey.

Since the first half of 90-ties about 800,000 persons migrated within Azerbaijan because of the war in Nagorno-Karabach region. There have been some 250,000 refugees mainly from the other republics of previous USSR, too. This population part is included in the sampling frame according to their actual living place at the time of the population census in 1999.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sample of Azerbaijan HBS is based on territorial random probability principles. This allows stratifying the population by urban/rural category and by geographical characteristics (8 regions - economic zones). Taking into account that one fourth of the population is concentrated in the capital city Baku this population was included into a separate stratum.

Data from the population census 1999 was used in the survey. Three-stage sampling was implemented to select participating households.

Detailed description of the sampling procedure is available in "Azerbaijan HBS: Methodology" (p.2-6) in external resources.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The following survey instruments are used in Azerbaijan HBS:

1) Checklist of Household Composition (to be filled for each household at the outset of the survey). If a household agrees to participate in the survey, an interviewer must complete a household composition checklist.

2) Questionnaire for Basic Interview (to be filled at the outset of the survey). It is completed during an interview with the head of the household at the outset of the survey. The questionnaire contains four chapters: - Household Composition; - Housing Conditions; - Personal Subsidiary Plot; - Durable Goods.

3) Daily Expenditure Diary (to be filled by the household during two weeks). The daily diary contains the following sections: - Number of Present Members of Households; - Purchase of Food and Non-Food Goods, Services; - Food and Non-Food Goods and Services Received Free of Charge (Consumed/Received during 14 Days); - Expenses for Dining Out.

4) Quarterly Questionnaire on Incomes and Expenditures of Households (to be filled quarterly in the course of the interview with the household members). The expenditure and income questionnaire includes the following chapters: - Expenses for Clothing and Shoes; - Expenditure for Household Goods; - Expenses for Furniture, Different Services and Other Large Expenses; - Expenses for Utilities and Housing; - Personal Subsidiary Plot; - Health Expenditure; - Other Expenses; - Household Income.

5) Notebook to Record Quarterly Expenditures and Incomes (to be used throughout the entire quarter and as a supplement for the quarterly expenditure and income interview). The interviewer asks the surveyed households about their regular expenses and income on a quarterly basis. He/she poses questions about main (large) buys and regular expenses over the quarter.

The first version of questionnaires was introduced during 2001 survey. The survey instruments were updated in 2002.

Key information about Azerbaijan Household Income per Capita

The State Statistical Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan provides Population Income in local currency and Total Population. The Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan average market exchange rate is used for currency conversions.

Abstract

Azerbaijan has undergone major socioeconomic and political changes: the war with Armenia, forced migration and population displacement, economic hardships, and deterioration of health and social services. These changes have affected practically all aspects of life for its people. The reported flaws associated with official statistics have prohibited any meaningful attempts at informed decision making, planning, and program evaluation in reproductive health. A nationwide survey was recommended to assess the reproductive health status of the population during this transition period, a period of profound changes in health needs and access to health care services. The national reproductive health survey conducted in Azerbaijan in 2001 (AZRHS01) is the first nationwide population-based survey aimed at providing a wide array of information about the current status of women's health in that country. The survey will aid in identifying unmet programmatic needs and will serve as a baseline for future studies and evaluations. The AZRHS01 was specifically designed to meet the following objectives:

• To assess fertility, abortion, contraception, and various other reproductive health issues in Azerbaijan.
• To enable policy makers, program managers, and researchers to evaluate existing reproductive health programs and develop new strategies.
• To study factors that affect fertility, contraceptive use, and maternal and infant health, such as geographic and sociodemographic factors, breast-feeding patterns, use of induced abortion, and availability of family planning services.
• To identify characteristics of women at risk for unintended pregnancy.
• To identify high-risk groups and focus additional reproductive health studies on them.
• To obtain data on the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of young adults 15-24 years of age.
• To provide data on the level of reported STI symptoms and knowledge about transmission and prevention of AIDS.
• To provide data on women living in prolonged displacement.

Similar to the survey conducted in Georgia, completed in 2000, the AZRHS01 included an oversample of refugee women and women internally displaced by war and ethnic cleansing to document their specific health needs. The disruption associated with living in improvised settings makes safe motherhood difficult, limits contraceptive access and use, increases the risks of HIV/AIDS and other STIs, neglects the special needs of adolescents, and may increase the risk of violence against women. Public health surveillance systems often exclude data collection and analysis essential to addressing the specific issues of IDP/Rs. To our knowledge, no country or organization has attempted parallel documentation of the reproductive health status of a nation and an internally displaced group within the country. By collecting information from the general population and from IDP/Rs, the AZRHS01 can document specific needs associated with displacement, account for differences in reproductive health status between the two populations, and provide a useful tool for evaluating existing reproductive health programs and activities that specifically address displaced women and children.

The Division of Reproductive Health, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, Georgia, coordinated survey activities and provided technical assistance to the local implementing agency, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), Baku, Azerbaijan.

Funding was provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)—through the umbrella agreement managed by Mercy Corps (MC)—the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

Geographic coverage

The AZRHS01 is based on face-to-face interviews with 7,668 women at their homes. The survey was designed to collect information from a representative sample of women of reproductive age throughout Azerbaijan (excluding the autonomous region of Nakhchivan and the occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas).

Universe

The universe from which the respondents were selected included all females between the ages of 15 and 44 years, regardless of marital status, who were living in households in Azerbaijan when the survey was carried out

Sampling procedure

The household survey used a stratified multistage sampling design using the recent 1999 census as the sampling frame (State Committee of Statistics of the Azerbaijan Republic [SCS], 2000). For the AZRHS01, the geographic area of the Azerbaijan Republic was divided into four independent sampling strata. The strata were created by grouping regions with a similar concentration of IDPs and refugees (IDP/Rs), as recorded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR, 2000). The sample was selected with probability proportional to the population size (PPS) within each stratum. Stratum 1 included six rayons that each consisted of more than 30% of their population constituted by IDP/Rs: Fizuli (53%), Xanlar (51%), Barda (44%), Naftalan (40%), Aghjabedi (32%), and Bilasuvar (31%). Stratum 2 included five rayons in which the IDP/Rs represented 20%-30% of the population: Imishli (25%), Saatli (23%), Belagan (22%), Mingechevir (21%), and Terter (20%). Stratum 3 included only the Baku district, which also had a relatively high concentration of IDP/Rs (14%). Stratum 4 included all other rayons, except those in Nakhchivan and the occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas.

Regions with high concentrations of IDP/Rs (Strata 1 and 2) were oversampled for programmatic reasons. The oversampling in regions heavily populated by IDP/Rs was needed to include enough displaced women in the sample to allow independent estimates of their reproductive health status. This technique illustrates how surveys may be designed and integrated in the development, monitoring, and evaluation of targeted reproductive health programs. The oversampling of IDP/Rs was specifically designed to assess the reproductive health status of these women and measure the impact of the Azerbaijan Humanitarian Assistance Project (AHAP) funded by USAID and various projects targeting the IDP population supported by UNHCR and UNFPA. These projects aim to reduce the reliance on induced abortion by increasing access to and availability of effective contraceptive methods and by reducing the prevalence of STDs through the promotion of healthy behaviors among women (e.g., routine gynecologic exams) and child survival activities. These projects encompass various interventions, such as the establishment of modern health clinics for women; training of health professionals; development of information, education, and communication messages; social marketing; and provision of high-quality contraceptive supplies.

The first stage of the three-stage sample design was a selection of Census sectors with probability proportional to the number of households in each sector, after the sectors were grouped into four strata. This stage was accomplished by using a systematic sample with a random start in each stratum. During the first stage, 300 census sectors were selected and became primary sampling units (PSUs), as follows: Baku (80 PSUs), regions with more than 30% of the population being IDP/Rs (100 PSUs), regions with 20%-30% of the population being IDP/Rs (50 PSUs), and all other regions (70 PSUs). In the second stage of sampling, clusters of households were randomly selected in each census sector chosen in the first stage. The cluster size was based on the number of households required to obtain an average of 20 completed interviews per cluster. The total number of households in each cluster took into account estimates of unoccupied households, average number of women aged 15-44 per household, the interview of only one respondent per household, and an estimated response rate of 90% in urban areas and 92% in rural areas. Finally, in each of the households selected, one woman between age 15 and 44 was selected at random for interview (ifthere was more than one woman was in the household).

Because only one woman was selected from each household containing women of reproductive age, all results have been weighted to compensate for the fact that some households included more than one eligible female respondent. Survey results were also weighted to adjust for oversampling of households in the regions with a high concentration of IDP/R population and the undersampling in regions in which less than 20% of the population consisted of IDP/Rs.

Research instrument

The questionnaire included information on each woman's education, employment, living arrangements, and other background characteristics as well as histories of marriage, divorce, cohabitation, sexual activity, pregnancy, and contraceptive use. Additional questions investigated health risk behaviors that may affect reproductive health (e.g., smoking and drinking habits), women's health screening practices, and intimate partner violence. The questionnaire was developed in English, translated into Azeri and Russian, and translated back to ensure accuracy and linguistic equivalency.

Response rate

Of the 11,162 households selected in the household sample, 8,246 included at least one eligible woman (aged 15-44 years). Of those, 7,668 women were successfully interviewed, yielding a response rate of 93%. About 5% of women were absent and could not be interviewed during several revisits. Virtually all respondents who were selected to participate and who could be reached agreed to be interviewed (the

Abstract

Financial services sector, like other economic sectors of Azerbaijan, has been characterized with fast development rate. Banking, insurance and post services hold leading positions among those services. Individuals are one of the major consumers of those services. Thus, more than 3.6 million people already use payment cards and about 500,000 people take consumer credits. Increase of financial literacy and better protection of consumer rights contribute to more efficient access of population to financial services. First of all, current status of financial literacy of population should be studied and problems revealed, to this end.

Increase of financial literacy and better protection of consumer rights became more urgent issues over the last decade. Fast integration of Azerbaijan into the world economy made it necessary to study those issues and implement appropriate measures in the country.

In view of the above mentioned facts, the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan, World Bank and SECO decided to carry out a financial literacy research of the population. The main objective of that project was to conduct a "Financial Literacy Survey", create a Single Database and prepare a Report reflecting outcomes of the survey.

Geographic coverage

The survey covered Baku (including 11 administrative districts), Ganja, Sumgait, Shirvan, Khirdalan, Sheki, Lankaran, Yevlakh, Nakhchivan, Guba, Gusar, Aghsu, Bilesuvar, Berde, Tovuz, Masalli cities, 2 settlements and 37 villages (see: table 1.1 of the survey report). 54% of survey participants live in urban (Baku- 23%) and 46% in rural areas. This is a similar pattern to the national demographic status.

Sampling procedure

Definition of sampling frame and scale

1200 respondents were defined as a sample frame in 8 economic regions (2 economic regions of the country are under occupation) and Baku city. The main reason for conducting the survey among 1200 respondents is to ensure representativeness and financial feasibility of the project. Urban and rural ratio was set at 54% and 46% in line with statistic indicators. For detailed information see Table 1.1 of the survey report.

Preparation of the survey plan and implementation of survey sampling

Sampling was carried out at 2 stages: i) at the first stage, it was conducted while taking into account distribution of population by capital city, other urban and rural areas and economic regions with preliminary sampling units being street and villages (each preliminary sampling unit includes 15 respondents); ii) At the second stage, streets within the sampled cities and villages within economic regions were randomly selected. For example, according to results of the first stage of the sampling, a survey should be carried out among 45 respondents in Guba region and 15 respondents should be selected in urban areas and 30 respondents in rural areas. In view of the fact that primary sampling unit consists 15 respondents, 1 street within Guba town or its settlements and 2 villages among rural areas should be randomly selected.

Mode of data collection

Research instrument

The questionnaire was prepared based on the analogical questionnaire used in Russia and submitted by the Central Bank. The questionnaire was translated into Azerbaijani language, questions were adjusted to the country context, irrelevant questions were removed and new ones introduced. Meetings were arranged with representatives of the Central Bank and other relevant organizations, as well as their comments were discussed through e-mail during the preparation period of the questionnaire. The final version of the questionnaire was consisted of 65 questions and mainly covered such issues as registration of household's income and expenditures, financial awareness, financial literacy on basic calculations, violation of consumer rights during the use of financial services, access to financials services, payments cards and socio-demographic status of respondents. The questionnaire was prepared in Azerbaijani language and then, translated into English.

The survey collects information on household income and expenditure, housing conditions, ownership of consumer durables, access to agricultural land and demographic characteristics of household members.

Results of HBS 2001 served as the basis for estimates of poverty in Azerbaijan, using a relative poverty line and a new revised absolute poverty line. Using an absolute poverty line of 120,000 AZM (25.8 USD) per capita per month, it was estimated that 49% of the country population was living in poverty. Using a relative poverty line set at 72,000 AZM (15.5 USD) it was estimated that 17% of the population was living in extreme poverty.

A household is defined as a single person or a group of persons with a common budget and residence (house, flat, etc.). The members of the household may not be relatives even if living together and sharing a common household. Persons living in institutional households (elderly houses, hospitals, military barracks etc.) are excluded from the survey.

Since the first half of 90-ties about 800,000 persons migrated within Azerbaijan because of the war in Nagorno-Karabach region. There have been some 250,000 refugees mainly from the other republics of previous USSR, too. This population part is included in the sampling frame according to their actual living place at the time of the population census in 1999.

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sample of Azerbaijan HBS is based on territorial random probability principles. This allows stratifying the population by urban/rural category and by geographical characteristics (8 regions - economic zones). Taking into account that one fourth of the population is concentrated in the capital city Baku this population was included into a separate stratum.

Data from the population census 1999 was used in the survey. Three-stage sampling was implemented to select participating households.

Detailed description of the sampling procedure is available in "Azerbaijan HBS: Methodology" (p.2-6) in external resources.

Sampling deviation

In 2001 the State Statistical Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SSC) had to re-allocate existing interviewer staff to new sampling regions. However, existing employment legislation did not allow them to fire existing interviewers, or to re-hire them on more flexible contract basis. This led to compromises in the original sample implementation, with some interviewers having to work nearer to the place of residence. The compromises have led to some distortions in the final sample, with perhaps the most damaging being the under-representation of IDPs (internally displaced persons) in the 2001 sample. Throughout the year, the SSC has worked to re-allocate and re-employ interviewers in accordance with the new sample, and from 2002 there were no compromises.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The following survey instruments are used in Azerbaijan HBS:

1) Household Composition Checklist (to be filled for each household at the outset of the survey). If a household has agreed to participate in the survey, an interviewer must complete a household composition checklist.

2) Main Interview Questionnaire (also to be filled at the outset of the survey). It is completed during an interview with the head of the household at the outset of the survey. The questionnaire contains four chapters: - Housing conditions; - House-side plot; - Education and employment of household members; - Health conditions.

3) Daily Expenditure Diary (to be filled by the household during two weeks). The interviewer must explain to the household how to properly record expenses, namely: - Expenses are recorded on the date they are incurred. - Every expense is recorded in a separate line. - Records must be as accurate and detailed as possible.

4) Quarterly Expenditure Register (to be used throughout the entire quarter and as a supplement for the quarterly expenditure and income interview). The interviewer asks the surveyed households about their regular expenses and income on a quarterly basis. He/she poses questions about main (large) buys and regular expenses over the quarter. Since the family would have problems recollecting all expenses incurred over this period it is assumed that during the quarter the household will record expenses exceeding a certain amount in this document.

5) Expenditure and Income Questionnaire (to be filled quarterly in the course of the interview with the household members). The expenditure and income questionnaire includes the following chapters: - Clothing and shoe expenditure; - Household commodity expenditure; - Furniture, service and other large expenditure; - Housing and utility expenditure; - House-side land plot; - Health care expenditure; - Other expenses; - Individual questionnaire; - Control of completing the individual questionnaire; - Household's income.

While the questionnaires were piloted in the last quarter of 2000, there was not sufficient time to analyze the results of the pilot before launching the survey in January 2001. It was considered vital to begin data collection in January, in order to start the pattern of obtaining calendar year survey results. However, as the first results were entered and analyzed, it became clear that some of the questions were being interpreted in different ways by different interviewers. This was corrected through repeated training sessions and a revision of the questionnaires. The updated questionnaires were introduced in January 2002.

Response rate

Interviewers under the old (before 2001) survey were asked to interview the same households indefinitely. In 2001, they were asked to contract new households each quarter. Given that households were paid only a nominal sum for their participation, interviewers were required to develop and use communication skills in gaining the trust of the households.

The first 2001 survey results showed that too much emphasis and control was being made on overall response rate, but response rates to individual questions were very low. Particularly damaging was the fact that interviewers were allowed to submit questionnaires with incomplete expenditure diaries, since household per capita expenditure was the main indicator used to evaluate welfare levels.

</ul>Intentional homicides are estimates of unlawful homicides purposely inflicted as a result of domestic disputes, interpersonal violence, violent conflicts over land resources, intergang violence over turf or control, and predatory violence and killing by armed groups. Intentional homicide does not include all intentional killing; the difference is usually in the organization of the killing. Individuals or small groups usually commit homicide, whereas killing in armed conflict is usually committed by fairly cohesive groups of up to several hundred members and is thus usually excluded.
