PHL-NSO-FPS-1999-v01.
The 1999 Family Planning Survey (FPS) was a nationwide sample survey conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO) as a rider to the April 1999 round of the Labor Force Survey (LFS). It involved interviewing all female members age 15-49 years in the sample households of the LFS. It was the fourth in a series of annual family planning surveys that the NSO had conducted from 1995 to 2000.
Funding assistance was provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Technical assistance in the sampling estimation was provided by the International Programs Center of the U.S. Bureau of Census.
The 2000 FPS aims to provide information on contraceptive use in the Philippines to the Family Planning Service of the Department of Health (DOH). Specifically, it aims to determine the contraceptive prevalence rate in 1999; to find out what contraceptive methods women use; to monitor the source of modern contraceptive methods; to measure the percentage of births whose mothers are highly exposed to maternity-related risk; to determine differential on the use of contraceptive methods between the poor and non-poor; and to provide development planners with information to monitor changes in family planning practice and keep track of progress towards program goals.

Sampling
Since the 1999 FPS was a rider to the April 1999 round of the Labor Force Survey (LFS), its sample households were obtained using the new master sample design of the LFS. The new master sample utilized a multi-stage sampling design which involved the selection of sample barangays for the first stage, of sample enumeration areas (EAs) for the second stage, and of sample households for the third stage. The selection of samples using the multi-stage sampling scheme was carried out for each domain or stratum. The urban and rural areas of cities and municipalities with a population of 150,000 or more were considered as separate domains. The other urban and rural areas in each of the 77 provinces were likewise treated as separate domains. In view of the creation of ARMM and the separation of Marawi City and Cotabato City from Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao, respectively, the urban and rural areas of the two cities also formed separate domains.
The sample barangays were selected systematically within each domain with probability proportional to size using the number of households as a measure of size. The household counts based on the 1995 Census of Population (POPCEN) was used. The selection of sample EAs for the second stage was also done systematically with probability proportional to size. The EAs are again based on the EAs formed during the 1995 POPCEN. The selection of sample households was done systematically with a random start.
The sample households in the 2,247 core sample EAs were included for the 1999 FPS. Twelve (12) households were selected in every sample EA. A total of 25,190 sample households were successfully interviewed nationwide. The 1999 core sample size will allow the generation of estimates at the regional level. Provincial esstimates may be generated for selected provinces with large samples but these may give stable estimates.
In each sample household, eligible respondents (ERs) for the 1999 FPS were identified using the LFS Household Questionnaire. These were women age 15-49 years, regardless of marital status, who were usual members of the household. Female members of the household age 15-49 years who were overseas contract workers, except those present in the household at the time of the survey, were not eligible respondents (ERs) for the 1999 FPS. Eligible respondents interviewed using the FPS questionnaire.

A total of 26,964 households in the core sample EAs were sampled for LFS. Of this total, 25,963 were valid households (that is, households in housing units that were neither vacant nor demolished). Of these valid households, 25,190 core sample households in the LFS with a recorded response rate of 93.4 percent were interviewed without replacement.
Of the 25,190 core sample households interviewed, 19,482 households were interviewed in the 1999 FPS. A total of 29,985 women aged women age 15 to 49 years were eligible for interview in the FPS.
Of the 29,985 eligible women, 28,306 eligible women responded through either personal interview or use of self-administered questionnaire (SAQ). The response rate was 94.4 percent at the national level . Among the regions, Ilocos had the lowest response rate with 87.1 percent; while Northern Mindanao, Caraga, Central Visayas and Metro Manila had the highest with about 96.0 percent each.

The final weights used for the 1999 FPS are broken down into three components, namely; basic weights, weights adjustment factor, and final weights adjustment factor.
The basic weight is equal to the inverse of the overall probability of selection for each sample household, reflecting all sampling stages. The weights adjustment factor takes into account the sample EAs which were not enumerated, households which were not interviewed and number of non-responding women age 15 to 49 years. The product of the basic weights and weights adjustment factor was used to obtain the preliminary weighted estimates of the total number of women age 15 to 49 years. In order to make the weighted FPS estimate of the total number of women age 15 to 49 years consistent with the projected number of women in this age group as of April 1999, a final weight adjustment factor was used. The estimated number of women age 15 to 49 years as of April 1999 was interpolated from the 1995 Census-based population projections by sex and age group, specifically for years 1995 and 2000. The final weight adjustment factor is equal to the ratio of the estimated number of women age 15 to 49 years as of April 1999 to the preliminary weighted estimate of the total number of women in this age group from the 1999FPS data.

Face-to-face [f2f]
The RDs and regional statisticians, PSOs and their statisticians/assistants, and DSOs supervised the conduct of the survey. In addition, selected Central Office personnel conducted spot-checks and supervision of the field operations.
Each region was assigned with one personnel from the Central Office. Each personnel was tasked to supervise the the last two days of the third-level training and first week of the FPS enumeration in selected provinces of the region. However, the NSO regional and provincial staff supervised the field operation in their respective areas until completion of the survey.

The questionnaires for the 1999 FPS were structured questionnaire based on the 1997 FPS with additional questions.
The 1999 FPS Form 1 is a three-page questionnaire designed to collect information on on current contraceptive use, method mix, high-risk births and source of family planning methods. This form was used by the enumerators during personal interviews, and distributed with the self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) instructions to respondents wherein family planning information were not collected from personal interviews.
The FPS-MCHS Form 1 is the listing form completed by the enumerator. It was accomplished separately for each sample barangay. All sample households in the barangay were listed.
The FPS Form 2 contains the SAQ-instructions given to respondents whenever family planning information could not be collected by personal interviews. These respondents include those who refuse to be interviewed even after making two callbacks, those who are not available until the time you leave the area, and those who prefer to fill-up a SAQ instead of responding to an interview.
The FPS Form 3 contains the codes for current family planning method being used. This list was shown to respondents who was not able to name the method or those who are shy in mentioning the family planning method being used.
The FPS Form 4 is the form pasted on the cover page of each folio of questionnaires. It contains information on the folio number, province, city/municipality, barangay, name of processor, date assigned and date finished. This information were filled-up by the processor for each folio assigned to him/her.

Data Processing
Three to four days were alloted for the manual editing of FPS questionnaires in the Provincial Office. This activity involved the review and verification of the entries on the questionnaires before folioing and transmitting questionnaires to the Central Office. This activity is different from the field editing performed by supervisors or enumerators during the field operations.
The manual processing at the Central Office started on May 12, 1999; data entry started on May 19, 1999; while machine editing started on May 31, 1999. These major activites, along the process, overlap in time and were done simultaneously (together with the Maternal and Child Health Suyvey). On August 15, 1999, FPS manual and machine processing were completed.
Integrated Machine Processing System (IMPS) were use in data processing. The CENTRY module program of IMPS were utilized for data entry while program developed using CENTS were used in data cleaning. All programs were develop by Information Resource Department of the National Statistics Office.
