    Abstract

    The data was collected using the High Frequency Survey (HFS). The survey allowes for better reaching populations of interest with remote modalities (phone interviews and self-administered surveys online) and improved sampling guidance and strategies. It includes a set of standardized regional core questions while allowing for operation-specific customizations. The core questions revolve around populations of interest's demographic profile, difficulties during their journey, specific protection needs, access to documentation and regularization, health access, coverage of basic needs, coping capacity and negative mechanisms used, and well-being and local integration. The data collected has been used by countries in their protection monitoring analysis and vulnerability analysis.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    In the absence of a well-developed sampling-frame for forcibly displaced populations in the Americas, the High Frequency Survey employed a multi-frame sampling strategy where respondents entered the sample through one of three channels: (i) those who opt-in to complete an online self-administered version of the questionnaire which was widely circulated through refugee social media; (ii) persons identified through UNHCR and partner databases who were remotely-interviewed by phone; and (iii) random selection from the cases approaching UNHCR for registration or assistance.
