Because I know my professors will want to know about it when I write my thesis can you tell me where I can find further details on the sampling strategies used in NFHS-3. The final report is not exactly clear. Specifically I am looking for information on:

1) in the urban sample how were households randomly chosen (by using a list of random numbers or some other method)

2) in the rural sample what was the systematic method - to start in a particular location within the village and then take the next XX adjacent houses or ??

3) finally in the eight cities with slum/non-slum CEBs what method - random or systematic - was used to select households and was it similar to how that method was implemented in 1 or 2 above?

Thanks.

Susan
