I have read this in report but still now I have some confusion.
Firstly, in page 5 "With this design, the survey selected 18,000 residential households, which were expected to result in completed interviews with about 18,000 ever-married women (see Appendix A for the details of the sample design). In addition, in a subsample of one-third of the households, all ever married men age 15-54 were selected and interviewed for the male survey."
That means total number of household for men survey was 18000/3=6000 approximately. Is it correct?
Moreover, in page number 178 "Hemoglobin testing was carried out among children age 6-59 months in every third household in the BDHS sample, i.e., those households that were selected for interviews with ever-married men. Hemoglobin levels were successfully measured for 92 percent of the children eligible for the testing."
That means total number of household for hemoglobin test of children was 6000/3=2000 approximately. Is it correct?
In this household 2000 household they completed 2353 (page number 179, table 11.7) hemoglobin testing of 6-59 months aged children?
Thanks for your time.
