An equal probability systematic sampling method was applied in each cluster to reach auniform sample of 25 households per cluster. The following procedure was used to samplehouseholds from clusters:Let L be the total number of households listed in the cluster; let Random be a randomnumber between (0, I) (Random numbers are different and independent from cluster tocluster); let n be the number of households to be selected in the cluster; let I = L/n be thesampling interval.(1) The first selected sample household is k (k is the serial number of the household in thelisting) if and only if:k = Random*I, where I is the sampling interval as defined above.(2) The subsequent selected households are those having serial numbers:k + (j‐1)*I, (rounded to integers) for j = 2, 3, … n;A.2 FIELD METHODSData CollectionQuestionnaires. Two questionnaires were used in the <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong>: a household andindividual questionnaire. The content of the questionnaires was adapted from standard<strong>AIDS</strong> Indicator Survey questionnaires developed by ORC MACRO and technical partners,the 2003 KDHS HIV Module and previous surveys conducted in Africa. Stakeholdersincluding NACC, the <strong>National</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> and <strong>STI</strong> <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Programme</strong> (NASCOP) and otherHIV/<strong>AIDS</strong> organizations working in <strong>Kenya</strong> met to determine the key HIV programinformation needs and gaps. The <strong>KAIS</strong> Technical Working Group (TWG) collated opinionsfrom these stakeholders, modified existing questions and designed new questions to reflectissues relevant to <strong>Kenya</strong>’s current epidemic. The final questionnaires were translated fromEnglish into Kiswahili and 11 vernacular languages and back‐translated into English toensure accuracy. The questionnaires were further refined after a pilot study prior todistribution of the final versions to field staff.The household questionnaire gathered basic information from the heads of the householdson each usual member and visitor in the household, including age, sex, relationship to thehead of the household and orphanhood among children. Information was collected oncharacteristics of the household’s dwelling unit, such as the source of water, type of toiletfacilities, materials used for the floor of the house, property ownership and mosquito nets.Information was also collected on whether the household had received specific types of careand support in the year before the survey for any chronically ill adults, household memberswho died and orphans and vulnerable children. The household questionnaire was also usedto record respondents’ consent for blood collection and testing.The individual questionnaire collected information from eligible women and men aged 15‐64 years and covered basic demographic characteristics, reproductive history, fertilitypreferences, family planning, marriage and sexual activity. The individual questionnairealso captured HIV and <strong>STI</strong> knowledge, attitudes and behaviours, HIV testing, access to care<strong>KAIS</strong> <strong>2007</strong> 283
