    Sampling
    Sampling Procedure

    This dataset is related to the whole demographic surveillance area population. The number of respondents has varied over the last 10 years (2002-2012), with variations being observed at both household level and at Individual level. As at 31st December,2012 81,863 were being observed under the Nairobi HDSS living in 32,194 households distributed across two informal settlements(Korogocho and Viwandani). The variable IndividualId uniquely identifies every respondent observed while the variable LocationId uniquely identifies the room in which the individual was living at any point in time. To identify individuals who were living together at any one point in time (a household) the data can be split on location and observation dates.
