Sample survey data [ssd]

- Access to health services: demand and access to primary healthcare and hospitalization

UNHCR
A nationally representative sample was extracted from the UNHCR database in Lebanon using a simple random sampling approach. Two nationally representative samples were extracted: (1)Syrian refugees, and (2)Non-Syrian refugees. Data collected through the call center via Phone survey. To account for non-response rate, 1,000 Syrian and 1,000 non-Syrian cases were sampled. NB: Please note that while comparison is usually made to VARON/VASYR, methodologies completely differ and as such comparisons should be approached with caution and not interpreted to the dot. Results: 60% response rate for Syrians, 588 interviews completed.
Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]
The questionnaire included key indicators on household demographics, shelter, expenditures, livelihoods, debt, coping strategies, food security and consumption, and health.
Interviews were made by phone.
