| Microdata sample characteristics | |
| Sample design | The sample followed a two-stage, replicated and rotable design in which enumeration areas (EAs) demarcated for the 1991 Population Census served as the primary sampling units and housing units (HUs) as the secondary sampling units. Sixty EAs per state and 30 EAs in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja were randomly selected. In each EA, 10 households were selected randomly from a list of all households in the EA. In total, 21,900 housing units from 2,190 enumeration areas were included in the sample. The selected EAs were distributed across urban and rural areas. |

| Sample design | The sample followed a two-stage, replicated and rotable design in which enumeration areas (EAs) demarcated for the 1991 Population Census served as the primary sampling units and housing units (HUs) as the secondary sampling units. The housing units were the Ultimate Sampling Units for the multi-subject survey. Sixty EAs were selected with equal probability from the list of EAs in each state of the federation and FCT, Abuja. Ten housing units were selected systematically in each EA after the completion of the listing exercise. Thereafter, all the households within the selected HUs were interviewed using GHS questionnaire. 2204 of an expected 2220 EAs were covered. At the housing unit level, 18,355 of 22,200 expected units were canvassed. |
