Data processing included a number of steps to prepare data collected in the field for analysis. Theinitial steps included editing questionnaires, both in the field and at KNBS, and double‐data entryof all questionnaire responses to minimise errors. Data were entered using Census and SurveyProcessing System (CSPro) version 3.3. 5 Once all survey responses were transferred to electronicformat, the next step was to ensure full concordance between the two data entry databases, usingpaper questionnaires to resolve any discrepancies in transcription. A series of internal consistencyand range checks helped to identify any illogical responses and to verify that responses adheredto skip patterns in the questionnaire. Data validation programs for data cleaning were written inStata version 8.0 6 and corrections were entered directly in CSPro at KNBS.A concurrent process of cleaning the raw laboratory data was conducted at the NHRL. The final,cleaned questionnaire database at KNBS was merged with the laboratory results database at theNHRL using unique survey identification numbers to ensure accurate matches (>99.9% ofidentification numbers were matched). After successfully merging the questionnaire andlaboratory results databases, cluster and household identification numbers were serialized from 1‐402 and from 1‐25, respectively. Original cluster and household numbers, barcodes, andindividual survey identification numbers were stripped from the database prior to weighting andanalysis to ensure anonymity of survey participants.All results presented in the report are based on weighted data to account for the survey samplingdesign and participation rates. The weights are used to correct for unequal probability ofselection, to produce results that are representative of the larger population from which thesample was drawn and to adjust for survey non‐response. The final weights were derived fromthe design weights of the NASSEP IV sampling frame and subsequently adjusted for nonresponse.Three weights were calculated for analyses: a household weight, an individualinterview weight and a blood draw weight.This report presents the results of univariate and bivariate analyses; analyses are not adjusted forconfounding factors. Multivariate analyses of <strong>KAIS</strong> data will be presented in other disseminationmaterials, such as peer‐reviewed scientific publications. Data analyses was conducted usingStatistical Analysis System (SAS) version 9.13 7 , which has procedures to account for multi‐stagestratified sampling designs and can produce reliable standard errors and confidence intervals.With the exception of chapter 3 (Trends in HIV Prevalence), statistical significance was assessedbased on chi‐square p‐values. In Chapter 3, we assumed the estimates from each time period (the2003 KDHS and the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong>) were independent and used the z‐test to compare two weightedestimates and to determine if differences between 2003 and <strong>2007</strong> were statistically significant.Throughout the report, the term significant indicates a p‐value 8 less than 0.05.
