Coverage and sample design: The LRHS 2005 is a nationally representative sample survery, with 21 600 household chosen as respondents, from which eligible women aged 15 to 49 years and men aged 15 to 59 years, regardless of their marital status, were selected for detailed interview.
A two-stage stratified cluster sample covering 16 provinces, the capital and special zone was applied in survey. The 2005 census household list was used as the sampling frame.
The first stage of sample selection was to select 40 sample villages, using SPPS method.
The second stage was to select households in the villages selected in the first stage. Within each selected villages, a fixed number of 30 households were selected using systematic random sampling. Thus, each province had about 1 200 households for the 2005 survey.
The sampling covered Urban and Rural areas.
Response rate for households, women and men are relatively high and close to 100 percent.
The survey questionnaires used in the LRHS 2005 are almost identical to the LRHS 2000. The earlier survey questionnaires were adapted from the 1994 Lao Fertility and Spacing Survey and the 1997 Mongolia Reproductive Health Survey. In many ways, the questionnaires resemble the International Standard of the Demographic and Health
Surveys (DHS). The questionnaires have been adjusted for the local situation.
As with the earlier survey, the LRHS 2005 questionnaires consist of three different parts, which are the: Household Questionnaire, Women’s Questionnaire and Men’s
Questionnaire.
Data were processed as folllows:
Questionnaire reception, Office editing and coding, Data entry using Scaner, Verification entry, Export to data base, Back up and edited data back up.
