The target population was mainland Chinese citizens age 18 to 70 residing for more than 30 days in family dwellings in all 31 provinces. The survey used the GPS Assisted Area Sampling Method (Landry & Shen, 2005) to project a grid onto 2855 counties, county-level cities or urban districts of the same status. Stratification took place in stages. At the first stage, the country was divided into three official macro-regions, Eastern, Central and Western; each macro-region was divided into urban and rural administrative areas, giving six layers in total; 60 primary sampling units (PSU) corresponding to county-level administrative divisions were selected at random across the six layers with probability proportionate to population (see map below). Within each PSU, three half-square minutes (HSM) of latitude and longitude were chosen with probability proportionate to population density, within each of these, again proportionate to population density, a number of spatial square seconds (SSS) corresponding to 90m x 90m squares was selected at random. Within each SSS, all dwellings were enumerated, and 27 were selected in each HSM by systematic sampling. Within each dwelling respondents were identified by the Kish method. The result was a sample of 5,424 dwellings in which 3,680 valid interviews were completed, giving a response rate of 67.9 per cent. Data processing and preparation activities: The completed questionnaires were collected, checked, and signed by the field supervisors on location and verified for validity during database creation. To minimize deviation from national 2010 census characteristics, weighting and post stratification was done by age and gender. Additional information: This is a metadata-only record.
