    Sampling Procedure

    The sampling was carried out in five areas:

      1. Quelimane City
      1. The district town of Maganja da Costa (Vila de Maganja da Costa)
      1. Rural villages in Maganja da Costa
      1. The district town of Morrumbala (Vila de Morrumbala)
      1. Rural villages in Morrumbala.

    Villages located within a 45 to 60 minute drive from the study centers (health centers and hospitals) were considered. The sampling was carried out in two stages: the 1st stage involved selection of neighborhoods or villages, and the 2nd stage involved the selection of households.
    Weighting

    Post-stratification sampling weights based on the total population of 15- to 19-year-old girls in the five study areas have been created after the field work.
