Sampling
The sample selection methodology for the 2013 NDHS is based on a stratified two-stage sample design, using the 2010 CPH as a frame. The first stage involves the selection of 800 sample EAs distributed by stratum (region/urban/rural). In the second stage 20 sample housing units were selected from each sample EA using systematic random sampling . All the households in the sampled housing units were interviewed. An EA is defined as an area of discernable boundaries consisting of contiguous households. The sample was designed to provide data representative of the country and its 17 adminstrative regions.
Household response rate = 99.4
Eligible women response rate = 98.3
Women Safety Module response rate = 96.4
Eligible women response rate = 98.3
Women Safety Module response rate = 96.4

Three pretests were conducted prior to finalizing the design and development of survey materials. The first pretest was conducted on March 27, 2013 in Barangay Talaba II, Bacoor, Cavite. It was aimed at checking the flow, clarity of questions, and the sustainability of the respondent's attitude and motivation in answering the questions. The second pretest was carried out in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan Province on April 8-9, 2013, to see if the Tagalog translation of the questionnaire was suitably worded and also to improve the prescribed field operation procedures. The training for the pretests field staff took place in DSSD, NSO Central Office in Manila from April 2-5, 2013. For the third pretest, a trainer's training was conducted on May 20, 24 and 25, 2013 in Mandaluyong City, participated in by selected central office personnel and field staff of Regions V, VII and VIII. In each of the pretest regions, a four-day training for interviewers was conducted prior to data collection. Pretest III involved five teams. Each of the four teams was composed of four interviewers, a field editor and a supervisor while the team from Region VII was composed of six interviewers and a team supervisor who also acted as field editor. All five teams had their respective observer from Central Office. The objective of the third pretest was to test the correctness and clarity of the translations of the NDHS questions into the five major languages- Ilocano, Bicol, Waray, Hiligaynon and Cebuano- in the regions where these dialects are spoken.
Training of the field staff was conducted in two levels. The first was the training of the Task Force for instructors, regional coordinators, and supervisors, and the second was the training of the interviewing teams. The Task Force training was conducted in Manila from July 15 to 26, 2013. Fifty-four persons participated as trainees: 35 from RSOs (consisting of Regional Statisticians and Team Supervisors), and 19 from the PSA-NSO Central Office. The trainers were staff of the Demographic and Social Statistics Division (DSSD) at PSA-NSO and guest lecturers and resource persons from the University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI), the Department of Health (DOH), the University of the Philippines School of Economics (UPEcon), and the Philippines Commission on Women (PCW).

Data Processing
All completed questionnaires and the control forms were returned to the PSA-NSO central office in Manila for data processing, which consisted of manual editing, data entry and verification, and editing of computer-identified errors. An ad-hoc group of thirteen regular employees from the DSSD, the Information Resources Department (IRD), and the Information Technology Operations Division (ITOD) of the NSO was created to work fulltime and oversee data processing operation in the NDHS Data Processing Center that was carried out at the NSO-CVEA Building in Quezon City, Philippines.
