A.3 SAMPLING PROCEDURE<br />

The sample for VPAIS <strong>2005</strong> was a stratified sample selected in two stages from the PCS <strong>2005</strong>.<br />

Stratification was achieved by separating every reporting domain into urban <strong>and</strong> rural areas. The 7<br />

domains were stratified into 14 sampling strata, among them, the urban <strong>and</strong> rural areas of each of the four<br />

individual provinces <strong>and</strong> the rest of the urban <strong>and</strong> rural areas of the North <strong>and</strong> South regions, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

urban <strong>and</strong> rural areas of the Central region. Samples were selected independently in every stratum, by a<br />

two stage selection. Implicit stratifications were achieved at each of the lower geographical/administrative<br />

levels by sorting the sampling frame according to the geographical/administrative order <strong>and</strong> by using a<br />

probability proportional to size selection at the first stage sampling.<br />

In the first stage, 251 EAs were selected with probability proportional to the EA size. The EA<br />

size is defined as the number of households residing in the EA. A household listing operation was carried<br />

out in all selected EAs, <strong>and</strong> the resulting lists of households served as the sampling frame for the selection<br />

of households in the second stage. Some of the selected EAs could be of large size. In order to minimize<br />

the task of household listing for large EAs, selected EAs which had more than 300 households were<br />

segmented. Only one segment was selected for inclusion in the survey with probability proportional to the<br />

segment size. Household listing was conducted only in the selected segment. The resulting VPAIS <strong>2005</strong><br />

cluster is either an EA or a segment of an EA. In the second stage selection, an average number of 22<br />

households were selected in every urban cluster, <strong>and</strong> an average of 28 households were selected in every<br />

rural cluster, by an equal probability systematic sampling. A spreadsheet indicating the selected<br />

household numbers for each cluster was prepared. <strong>Survey</strong> interviewers interviewed only the pre-selected<br />

households. No replacements <strong>and</strong> no changes of the pre-selected households was allowed during<br />

fieldwork in order to prevent bias. All women <strong>and</strong> men aged 15-49 were interviewed in the selected<br />

households.<br />

Table A.4 below shows the sample allocation of clusters <strong>and</strong> households according to the study<br />

domains <strong>and</strong> by type of residence. Table A.5 below shows the sample allocation of completed women <strong>and</strong><br />

men interviews according to the study domains <strong>and</strong> by type of residence. The allocation takes into<br />

account the urban-rural distribution of each study domain, <strong>and</strong> the test of HIV in the province of Hai<br />

Phong. Because of the tight budget restrictions, 22 clusters were allocated to each of the three provinces<br />

of Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City <strong>and</strong> Quang Ninh, 150 clusters were allocated to each of the three regions of<br />

North, Central, <strong>and</strong> South, not including the four individual provinces. Thirty-five clusters were allocated<br />

to Hai Phong province in order to provide a sample size sufficient for acceptable precision for HIV<br />

estimates. The four individual provinces are largely over sampled compared to other provinces to provide<br />

sufficient sample size for separate estimates. As a consequence, the North region <strong>and</strong> urban areas are over<br />

sampled. Because urban areas are smaller than rural areas, it is necessary to over sample the urban areas<br />

to provide separate estimates for urban areas that are reliable. A proportional allocation according to the<br />

urban-rural residence would not provide enough samples to guarantee comparable precision between<br />

urban <strong>and</strong> rural areas. Among the 251 clusters, 97 clusters are in urban areas, 154 clusters are in rural<br />

areas.<br />
