Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey - Round 4 [hh/mics-4]
Series Information
Nigeria has participated in three rounds of MICS. Two rounds through the Federal Office of Statistics (FOS) in 1995 and 1999 for MICS 1 and MICS2 respectively and the third round, MICS3, as National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in 2007. The current round four (MICS4) which is slated for between January and March, 2011, though the pilot is to come up in October, 2010 was designed to provide up to date data information for assessing situation of children and women in Nigeria and contribute data for monitoring socio-economic activities of Nigerian population.
Abstract
The Multiple Cluster Indicator Survey (MICS) was conceptualized to monitor the progress of Child Survival, Development, protection and participation (CSDPP) Programme as well as to serve as means of data generating mechanism for measuring the achievement and gaps in the targets of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), particularly as it may affect the children and women. At the World Summit for Social Development in 1995, the need was also stressed for better social statistics if social development had to move to centre stage for the cause of the children of the world.

However, Nigeria has participated in three rounds of MICS. Two rounds through the Federal Office of Statistics (FOS) in 1995 and 1999 for MICS 1 and MICS2 respectively and the third round, MICS3, as National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in 2007. The current round of MICS4 which is slated for between January and March, 2011, though the pilot is to come up in October, 2010 was designed to provide up to date data information for assessing situation of children and women in Nigeria and contribute data for monitoring socio-economic activities of Nigerian population. Likewise, MICS4 will support monitoring numerous international and national goals and targets which includes;
· Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
· World Fit for children
· Roll-Back Malaria (RBM)
· Vision 20-2020 etc.
The objectives of the pilot study among others include;
i. To test the adequacy of survey instruments (Questionnaires and Manuals)
ii. To test the administration of the questionnaires
iii. To test some of the data processing arrangement (system development, data processing capability, analysis and tabulation, etc.)
iv. To test all the logistics arrangement (fieldwork, transportation, field equipment etc)
v. To write an administrative and technical report on the pilot

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The frame of Enumeration Areas (EAs/Clusters) of 2006 Housing and Population Census conducted by National Population Commission (NpopC) will be used. However, the National integrated Survey of Households (NISH) which is the vehicle for conducting all household based surveys in NBS, the 2007/2012 edition will be adopted for the survey.

Ten (10) EAs/Clusters which translated to one (1) replicate will be selected in each of the affected states for the pilot study. Further, twenty (20) households (HHs) will be systematically selected in each of the EAs/Clusters thus given a total of 200 HHs to be canvassed in each selected state. In all, 800 HHs will be studied for the pilot in which all the eligible women and children under five in these households will be administered with the relevant questionnaires (see table 2.1.4.1).

As was for the pilot study, the frame of enumeration areas/Clusters (EAs/Clusters) of 2006 housing and population census conducted by National population commission (NPOPC) will be used. Also, the National Integrated Survey of Households (NISH) 2007/2012 Master Sample Frame (MSF) will be adopted for the survey. However, the NISH 2007/2012 Master Sample was constructed from LGA Master Sample which may be called Master Frame (MF). In order to select the NISH sub-sample of EAs/Clusters in each state, the 30 master sample EAs/Clusters in each LGA for that state were pooled together, hence, the total number of EAs/Clusters in the LGA master sample for each state is equal to 30 times the number of the LGAs in the state except in FCT, Abuja where it was 40 times.

Then, systematic sample of 200 EAs/Clusters were selected with equal probability across all LGAs within the state and the NISH EAs/Clusters in each state were divided into 20 replicates of 10 EAs/Clusters in each replicate.

The sample EAs/Clusters for most national household surveys such as the GHS are based on a sub-sample of the NISH master sample, selected as a combination of replicates from the NISH frame. However, the MICS4 main survey will derive from NISH (2007/2012) and as such four (4) replicates taken from replicates 17 to 20 containing forty (40) EAs/Clusters will be canvassed in each of the thirty six states of the Federation and FCT, Abuja. In addition, twenty (20) households will be systematically selected in each EAs/Clusters and all the three (3) sets of questionnaires will be administered to all eligible respondents. In all, one thousand, four hundred and eighty (1,480) EAs/Clusters will be covered nationally, and twenty nine thousand, six hundred (29,600) households will be interviewed. It is worthy to note that a fresh household listing exercise was carried out for all study units (EAs/Clusters) for MICS4.

Weighting
Sample weights were calculated for each of the data files.. Sample weights for the household data were computed as the probability of selection of the household, computed at the sampling domain level (urban/rural within each state). The household weights were adjusted for non-response at the domain level, and then nomalised by a constant factor so that the total weighted number of households equals the total unweighted number of households. The hosehold weight variable is called HHWEIGHT and is used with the HH data and the HL data

Sample weights for the women's data used the un-nomalized household weights, adjusted for non-response for the women's questionnaire, and were then normalized by a constant factor so that the total weighted number of women's cases equals the total unweighted number of women's cases.

Sample weights for the children's data followed the same approach as the women's and used the un-nomalized household weights, adjusted for non-response fr the children's questionnaire, and were then normalized by a constant factor so that the total weighted number of children's cases equals the total unweighted number of children's cases

Estimation Procedures:
Let the probability of selecting the EA be fj and the probability of selecting the housing unit be fk. Then the product f = fjfk = 1 where fj = n and fk = h

Ys = Estimate for states
N = Total Number of EAs in states
n = Selected number of EAs in states
H = Total number of Housing Units listed in the jth EA
h = Selected number of Housing Units in the jth EA.
Xsj k = Value of the element in the kth housing unit of jth EA in states.
Wsjk = Weight of the element in kth housing unit of the jth EA in states.

Questionnaires

Questionnaires
The MICS Generic questionnaire based on MICS3 Model Questionnaire was used with some modifications and additons.
Household questionnaire was administered to all selected households, the women questionnaire was administered to all women age 15-49 years old in the selected households and children questionnaire to all children below the age of 5years in the selected households.
All modules of the Household Questionnaire will be administered to this person, referred to as the Household Respondent, including the module in the questionnaire where the information collected is about other household members (i.e., the educational attainment).

For the purposes of this questionnaire, an adult is defined as someone age 15 and over. However, very young household members (below age 18) may not be the most ideal members to interview. Therefore, in cases when there is another older adult member (for instance, the parent of the 15 year-old) available to interview, you should prefer to interview this person who is likely to be more knowledgeable about the household. Interviewing the household head is not a must and you are not required to ask for the household head to do the interview

(a) Household Questionnaire
(i) Household Information Panel
(ii) Household Listing Form
(iii) Education
(iv) Water and Sanitation
(v) Salt iodization
(vi) Hand-washing
(vii) Child labour
(viii) Child discipline
(ix) Insecticide treated nets
(x) Household Characteristics etc.

When you have completed the Household Questionnaire, you will have identified women (aged 15-49 years) and mothers or primary caregivers of children under five to whom you will administer the individual questionnaires.

· You should interview separately all women aged 15 through 49 who reside in the household to fill in the Questionnaire for Individual Women.

(b) Individual Women (15 - 49) Questionnaire
(i) Woman's information panel
(i) Woman's background
(ii) Child Mortality

(vi) Contraception
(vii) Unmet need
(viii) Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting
(ix) Attitudes toward domestic violence
(x) Marriage/union
(xi) Sexual behaviour
(xii) HIV/AIDS etc

You should administer the Questionnaire for Children under-5 to mothers of children under-5 years of age who are residing in the household. If the mother is not listed in the Household Listing, then the person who is acknowledged as the primary caregiver should be the respondent to the Under Five Questionnaire
(c) Children Under Five Questionnaire
(xi) Under-five child Information Panel
(xii) Age
(xiii) Birth registration
(xiv) Early child development
(xv) Breastfeeding
(xvi) Care of illness

Data Processing

Data Editing
Data editing began from the feild through the feild data editor and then the feild supervisor before getting to the state officers.
Then other stages through the processing include

(i) Desk officers at the zonal offices
(ii) Trained data editors from the headquarters sent to the zonal offices for data editing during the data entry
(iii) Data editing through the zonal offices editors before data entry
(iv) Competent data entry staff
(v) Verifiers
Other Processing
Data processing began from the Planning stage. Processing took place in the six geo-political zones of the Federation where the questionnaires were checked against cluster control sheet before the data entry.

If there were any missing questionnaire, there must be a quick contact with the team from the feild, for a re-interview of the respondent involved.

All completed quetionnaires were arranged cluster by cluster in numerical order of household number within the cluster (i.e from HH1 to HH10) and despatched
to the zonal offices

Each cluster was followed by the selection sheets

Double entries was done for the data entry using CSPro interface with embedded program to check the entries and prompt the operator in case of
inconsistencies in the age, relationship, caretaker/mother, education between the various questionnaires

The two data set was then copy and run a program that will compare the two and find the difference in them which was corrected until error free data
is gotten. Then secondary editing program was run on them to get correct clean data for exporting to SPSS
