Methods of the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong>This Appendix describes the methods of the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong>. First we describe survey methods,including the population covered by the survey, sample size, sampling frame and sampleallocation. We summarize field methods, which cover implementation of the surveyquestionnaires, blood draw and related training, community mobilisation, and supervisionof the field teams. Protection of human subjects is described in the following section.Laboratory methods also are included, along with training of staff; sample collection,processing, labeling, and transport; receipt of samples and biological testing; repositorystorage; and data management. We also describes the methods for returning test results toparticipants, including organization and flow of test results from the laboratory to theparticipants, selection of facilities for returning test results, training counsellors, dispatchingresults to the field, documentation, supervision, and data management. The final sectioncovers the methods used for calculating weights, non‐response adjustments, and statisticalanalysis. This final section reminds readers that estimates in this report are unadjustedunivariate and bivariate associations only. Multivariate analysis and associations adjustedfor age and other factors will be provided in manuscripts and other disseminated materials.A.1 SURVEY METHODSGeographic coverage and target populationThe <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong> was a national, population‐based, cross‐sectional survey. The survey wasconducted among a representative sample of households selected from all eight provincesand covered both rural and urban areas. A household was defined as a person or group ofpeople related or unrelated to each other who live together in the same dwelling unit orcompound (group of dwelling units), share similar cooking arrangements, and identify thesame person as head of household. The <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong> was designed to allow reliable estimationof HIV prevalence and behavioural indicators relating to HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong>. All women and menaged 15‐64 years who were either usual residents of the selected households or visitorspresent in the household on the night before the survey were eligible to participate in thestudy provided they gave informed consent. The inclusion criteria may have captured non‐<strong>Kenya</strong>ns living as usual residents or visitors in a sampled household. Military personnel andthe institutionalized population are typically not captured in household‐based surveys;although they may have been included in the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong> if at home during the survey.Sampling frameAdministratively, <strong>Kenya</strong> is divided into eight provinces. Each province is divided intodistricts, each district into divisions, each division into locations, each location into sublocations,and each sub‐location into villages. For the 1999 Population and HouseholdCensus, KNBS delineated sub‐locations into 62,000 small units called Enumeration Areas(EAs) that constituted a village, a part of a village, or a combination of villages.
