The data contains a survey undertaken in three regions of Ghana: Greater Accra, Ashanti and the Northern regions to represent the Coastal, Forest and Savannah Zones respectively. We adopt a sampling design by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) used for the Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS). Based on the design, the GSS has listed rural and urban Enumeration Areas (EAs) in all the regions. We proportionally allocate the EAs to the regions sampled based on rural-urban stratification. Systematically, 20 households were selected from each EA following the ordered sampling frame. Consequently, 28, 19 and 8 urban EAs were interviewed in the Greater Accra, Ashanti and Northern regions respectively while the figures for the rural areas were 3, 12 and 11 for the Greater Accra, Ashanti and Northern regions respectively. Households in the EAs were located with the help of the household listing undertaken by the GSS containing the names, addresses and Global Positioning System location of all households within the EAs. We submitted all the data collection instruments and protocols for approval by the University of Ghana Ethics Committee for Humanities before going to the field

Intervju

The questionnaire instrument was coded in Computer-Assisted Personal Interviews (CAPI) and enumerators visited each household to conduct the interview. After each day's activity, the overseer goes through the reported data to identify any errors. If errors are detected, the enumerator re-visits the household the next day to collect the appropriate data.
