Methodology  Face-to-face interviews were conducted within households that were randomly sampled within selected locations to ensure geographic coverage was similar across surveys. Locations were chosen to ensure the broadest possible coverage, taking into account availability of IQCA4 accredited interviewers and cost-effectiveness. The start points for the interview locations were randomly drawn from the electronic White Pages. Interviews were conducted after school and on weekends, with up to 3 call backs made for eligible respondents. For each survey the interview only proceeded when parental approval, or that of a guardian, had been attained.
