Design weightsThe <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong> sample was not self‐weighted and thus a weighting adjustment was requiredto provide estimates representative of the target population. The design weightsincorporated the probabilities of selection of the 1800 clusters into the NASSEP IV sampleframe and the probabilities of selection of the 402 clusters into the <strong>KAIS</strong> sample from theNASSEP IV clusters. The probabilities of selection of clusters into NASSEP IV were takenfrom the documentation of the NASSEP IV master sample, which was available throughKNBS.Post-stratification adjustmentThe allocation of clusters among the urban and rural areas in each province was based onthe distribution of households across the districts. The allocation resulted in 34 districts withno clusters in their urban strata. Consequently, an adjustment to the weights was made toincrease the representation of urban areas within the affected provinces.Table A6.a shows the ratios of the weighted number of households according to NASSEP IVto the weighted numbers using the base <strong>KAIS</strong> weights. There was reasonably closeagreement between the two samples by province for Nairobi and for rural areas, but anunder‐representation for other urban areas except Central Province. Thus, we multipliedthe original weights (for the urban areas outside of Nairobi) by the ratios shown in TableA6.a.Table A6.a Ratio of NASSEP IV to original <strong>KAIS</strong> using sampling fractions at thedistrict level, <strong>KAIS</strong> <strong>2007</strong>.Province Rural Urban TotalNairobi na 1.033 1.033Central 1.037 0.807 1.002Coast 1.084 1.019 1.053Eastern 1.086 1.397 1.104North Eastern 0.950 1.169 0.975Nyanza 1.055 1.183 1.066Rift Valley 1.013 1.762 1.105Western 1.064 1.766 1.113Total 1.047 1.149 1.070Non-response adjustmentBase weights were adjusted for cluster non‐response, household non‐response, andindividual non‐response (both for the interview and the blood draw). Ultimately, eachcluster had three cluster‐specific weights: household, individual interview, and blood draw.All household members captured in the household questionnaire were assigned the samehousehold weight. All individuals within a cluster who participated in the individualinterview or blood draw were assigned the same cluster‐specific weights for individualinterview or blood draw.<strong>KAIS</strong> <strong>2007</strong> 299
