Sampling procedure
The 2015 NNHS sample has been selected using a two-stage cluster design. First stage sampling procedure: cluster selection. The PSU (clusters) for each state were randomly selected from the national master sample frame according to the probability proportional to size (PPS) method with the support from National
Population Commission. Second stage sampling procedure: household selection. The second stage of sampling consisted of selecting households within each cluster by using systematic random selection. The team leader was responsible for the determination of the total number of households in the cluster by conducting a household listing through detailed enumeration of the selected cluster with a support from the community leader. This served as the sampling frame for the selection of households. The team leader then entered the total number of households onto the tablet and sampling interval was automatically calculated and displayed on the tablet. The sampling interval is calculated by dividing the total number of households in the cluster by the number of households to be interviewed. A random number table was used to randomly select a start number, between 1 and the sampling interval, to identify the first household. The sampling interval was used to identify all subsequent households to be included in the survey.
