Turkey Demographic and Health Survey
| Sample coverage | 2018 Turkey Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS) sample was designed with a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling approach. The sampling frame used for the 2018 TDHS used is ""the National Address Databas"" which is linked to support Address Based Poppulation Registration System (ABPRS). The first stage of the sample selection involved the selection of a pre-determined number of primary sampling units as blocks (i.e. clusters) out of the settlements selected in the 2018 TDHS was set at 754. Block level household lists each including approximately 100 households were provided by TurkStat. In the second stage a fixed number of households were selected from each cluster by systematic random sampling method using the updated household lists. Twenty-one households were selected per cluster. Total number of householda selected in 2018 TDHS is 15 775. Information on children under 5 years old was obtained from the women between the ages of 15-49. If the woman has a child under the age of 5, the height and weight of each of these children were measured. |
