An additional non-response rate of 10% (for a total 30% non-response rate) was assumed for the men and SAC 5-14 years old. The sample sizeWhere; Z2was determined based on the parameters that required the highest sample size (Zinc, Iodine, Anaemia) for each target group (Appendix 2). The design effect was estimated at 2.0 to compensate for the fact that cluster sampling method was adopted and to adjust for cluster variability.

This change has highlighted the need for national surveys to collect information beyond the provincial level, and move towards collection of county-level estimates. However, obtaining county-level estimates with adequate precision were not considered feasible in KNMS due to limitations in sample size and resources. Therefore KNMS consisted of the three domains as defined earlier. \nThe sampling frame for the 2010 KMNS was based on the National Sample Survey and Evaluation Programme (NASSEP IV) master sampling frame maintained by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). Administratively, Kenya is divided into 8 provinces. In turn, each province is The Kenya National Micronutrient Survey 2011 8 \nsubdivided into districts, each district into divisions, each division into locations and each location into sub-locations. In addition to these administrative units, during the last 1999 population census, each sub-location was subdivided into census Enumeration Areas (EAs) i.e. small geographic units with clearly defined boundaries. |As defined in the 1999 census, Kenya has eight provinces, 69 districts, and approximately 62,000 EAs. The list of EAs is grouped by administrative units and includes information on the number of households and population. This information was used in 2002 to design a master sample with about 1,800 selected EAs. The cartographic material for each EA in the master sample was updated in the field. The resulting master sampling frame was NASSEP IV which is still currently used by KNBS. The NASSEP IV master frame is a two-stage stratified cluster sample format. The first stage is a selection of Primary Sampling Units (PSUs), which are the EAs using probability proportional to measure of size (PPMOS) method. The second stage involves the selection of households for various surveys. EAs are selected with a basis of one Measure of Size (MOS) defined as the ultimate cluster with an average of 100 households and constitute one (or more) EAs. Although consideration was given to development of a new master frame for KNMS, time and other resource constraints dictated that the sample frame of this survey was NASSEP IV. The KNMS sample was selected using a stratified two-stage cluster design consisting of 296 clusters, 123 in the urban and 173 in the rural areas. From each cluster a total of 10 households were selected using systematic simple random sampling. For the KNMS survey, an urban area was defined as \u201can area with an increased density of human-created structures in comparison to the areas surrounding it and has a population of 2,000 people and above\u201d. Using this definition, urban areas included Cities, Municipalities, Town Councils, Urban Councils and all District Headquarters. A rural area was defined as an isolated large area of an open country in reference to open fields with peoples whose main economic activity was farming. Every attempt was made to conduct interviews in the 10 selected households, and one additional visit was made to ascertain this compliance in cases of absence of household members to minimize potential bias. Non responding households were not replaced.","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","research_instrument":"A careful sampling strategy was followed considering the degree of precision assumed and the day-to-day variation in nutrient intake by the respondents to ensure the representativeness of the samples at the population level. The data collection was to ensure equal representation of consumption during all days of the week. The line of questioning for the 24 hr. recall was open-ended rather than rigidly structured. A set procedure rather than a rigid routine was used in this part of the interview. The open-ended questionnaires demanded a continuous flow of questions and answers which become self-generating. Each successive round of questions served to sharpen the focus on one aspect of the food eaten: how often it was eaten, how it was prepared, how much was eaten. Primary assessment of household characteristics was determined upon cluster household mapping as detailed for the overall survey. Two households were selected for the recall with increased priority to the first four households, conditional upon the availability of children between ages 6-59 months. This was to increase the probability of correlating with complete sets of data collected from the households using all modules. Data was collected from a mother-child pair from each household upon availability of a child between ages 6 to 59 months. In some instances it was not possible to pair up mother\/caretaker if the caretakers were aged above 49 years. The youngest was selected if more than one child was found. The two recall-households, therefore, were selected only from the households among the 10 KNMS samples that essentially had children between ages 6-59 months and a woman of reproductive age.","coll_situation":"The training did include sessions on data collection skills include: establishing a pattern of questioning; stimulating memory; fixing the time frame; how to focus on the details required; using probing techniques and avoiding biased probing; Avoid quick assumptions and conclusions; Handling delicate situations during the interview and Maintain confidentiality.

All interviewers \/trainees selected were fluent in English in addition to their local languages. Three-week training provided the interviewers with both in-house and field experiences using various training methods including, lectures, group activities, role plays, use of visual aids, cases studies and field activities. The first week training included the supervisory staff from the KNMS whose role in the National survey included overseeing 24-hr recall data collection. Experts from the Micronutrient Initiative and KEMRI conducted the training following a standard training manual. The finalized version of the questionnaire was prepared based on the feedback from the field application during the training period. The questionnaire was also translated into Swahili language. The training standardized measurement of food using standard measuring cylinders and beakers. A food album was also developed and pretested by the trainers. During the training, training manuals, food albums, questionnaires and measuring equipment (measuring cylinders and beakers,) spoons cups, plates, bowls, rice and water were used.","weight":"Weights were computed for household questionnaire and other indicators which included anemia, iron deficiency, thalassaemia, sickle cell, malaria and HIV. The computed weights were a product of design weights (sampling weights) and post-stratification weights (non-response and residence - rural\/urban). The weights were then normalized for the weights to sum to the achieved sample total.\n This ia the variable used for weigths-Normalized household weight","cleaning_operations":"Each team was assigned one data editor whose specific duties were to monitor data questionnaires and forms with the aim of improving and maintaining the qualityof data collected. Editing of completed interviews was essential to ensure accurate and complete data collection. This was especially important during the initial phases of fieldwork, when opportunities to eliminate interviewer error patterns were high before they became habits. Editors were expected to review and edit Household Questionnaires, Individual Questionnaires, and the Laboratory\/Anthropometry form for completeness, legibility, and consistency throughout the fieldwork. This had to be done in real time to enable rectification by the enumerator before leaving the respondent and\/or cluster. The data editor also ensured the safe handover of the data collection form to the team leader daily for review; addressed on a daily basis any discrepancies in the questionnaires with the team before leaving the cluster; and handed over complete bound questionnaires with cluster name and number to the team leader once a cluster is complete for review and transportation to Nairobi.

Regular file back-up was done using flash disks and external hard disk to avoid any loss or tampering. Data comparison was done using Epi-info version 7.0. Data cleaning and validation was performed to achieve clean datasets. The datasets were exported into a Statistical Package format (IBM\u00ae SPSS\u00ae Statistics version 20.0). The laboratory results were entered in excel format and later exported into a Statistical Package format (IBM\u00ae SPSS\u00aeStatistics version 20.0). Data merging exercise was systematically conducted using the four datasets i.e. household characteristics, individual population characteristics, anthropometrics measurements, and laboratory results. Each of the five populations namely; Pre-school children (PSC), School aged children (SAC), Pregnant women (PW), Non-pregnant women (NPW), and Men were separately merged. Data merging was conducted as follows: STEP1: The 'laboratory results' file was first merged to the 'anthropometrics' file using 'LABLE NUMBER' as the unique identifier. STEP2: The merged 'laboratory + anthropometrics' file was merged to individual population characteristics file using a merging variable constructed by concatenating 'CLUSTER NUMBER + HOUSEHOLD NUMBER + LINE NUMBER' as the unique identifier. STEP3: The merged 'laboratory + anthropometrics + individual population characteristics' file was merged to the 'household characteristics' file using a merging variable constructed by concatenating 'CLUSTER NUMBER + HOUSEHOLD NUMBER + LINE NUMBER' as the unique identifier. Five master-files were backed-up for safe keeping and a copy was shared with the statisticians for analysis.
