Notes
Form 2 (Core Questionnaire) of NATSC Cambodia consists of 11 sections. Eight of these sections contain GATS survey items that have been adapted for use in Cambodia. A general description of each section that contains GATS items is described below (the questionnaire is provided in Appendix A):
• Tobacco smoking: Patterns of use (daily consumption, less than daily consumption, not at all), former/past tobacco consumption, age of initiation of daily smoking, consumption of different tobacco products, (cigarettes, pipes, cigars and other smoked tobacco), nicotine dependence, frequency of quit attempts.
• Smokeless tobacco: Patterns of use (daily consumption, less than daily consumption, not at all), former/past use of smokeless tobacco, age of initiation of daily use of smokeless tobacco, consumption of different smokeless tobacco products (snuff, chewing tobacco, betel quid, etc.), nicotine dependence, frequency of quit attempts.
• Cessation: Advice to quit smoking by health care provider, method used to try to stop smoking. Similar information is asked for cessation on smokeless tobacco as well.
• Secondhand smoke: Smoking allowed in the home, exposure to secondhand smoke at home, indoor smoking policy at work place, exposure during the last 30 days in: work place, government buildings/offices, health care facilities, restaurants, public transportation.
• Economics: Type of tobacco product and quantity bought, cost of tobacco product(s), brand, type of product purchased, and source of tobacco products.
• Media: Exposure to advertisement (television, radio, billboards, posters, newspapers/magazines, cinema, internet, public transportation, public walls, others); exposure to sporting events connected with tobacco; exposure to music, theatre, art or fashion events connected with tobacco; exposure to tobacco promotion activities; reaction to health warning labels on cigarette packages; exposure to anti-tobacco advertising and information. Similar questions are included for smokeless tobacco as well. The reference period for the questions in this section is 30 days.
• Knowledge, attitudes and perceptions: Knowledge about health effects of both smoking and smokeless tobacco.
In sum, NATSC 2011 survey items were designed from several sources of input: 1) GAT items, 2) focus groups conducted on tobacco and health issues in rural and urban centers, 3) survey research done as part of the TCLT program, and 4) consultation with local nongovernmental organizations that had conducted provincial surveys on tobacco use. Since the multidisciplinary group who designed the survey included both English and Khmer speaking investigators, there was need for translation from a working English document. The written survey items were translated and back-translated to verify content, criteria and semantic equivalence by bilingual and monolingual experts who used the methods described by Flaherty et al. Pre-testing among subjects in urban and rural centers was also done and the findings were used to refine the final wording of the NATSC survey.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sample population was representative of 12 individual provinces and five groups of provinces. The sample population was stratified in three stages. Initially, the whole sample population was divided by domain: urban and rural then by other criteria. All potential participants from each selected household were interviewed. In consideration of sampling techniques and the sample size (about 15,615 eligible participants 15 years of age and older), this survey report is considered a nationally representative survey of tobacco use among the general populations within the Royal Cambodian Kingdom.
(Please see technical documents for detail on Sampling Design and Sample Size in PDF format).
(Please see technical documents for detail on Sampling Design and Sample Size in PDF format).
Response Rate
The end result of all interviewing yielded a 97% percent response rate.
Weighting
A list of households was compiled for every sample village (or segment of sample village) and was necessary
to select sample households for use as an input to derive household weights. Because the sample was stratified by domain, it is not self-weighting. For reporting the national level results, sample weights were used. Variable weight is to be used to weigh records at the individual level.

Supervision
In general, one supervisor is assigned to supervise several interviewers during the field operations. The major duties and responsibilities of supervisor in relation to the work of interviewers are the follows:
The supervisor is responsible for ensuring that all the interviewers do the listing and interview work satisfactorily in time, effectively and completely in the selected areas.
The supervisor is required to check all the questionnaires filled by interviewers.
The supervisor visits the enumeration area to check the complete questionnaires and re-interview a few sample households to check whether the information the interviewers have collected are accurate, reliable and valid or not.
The supervisor may provide to interviewers all necessary field supplies and questionnaires for fieldwork operation etc.
The supervisor serves as a link between interviewers and survey coordinators. The supervisor must inform any problem or difficulty that you or interviewers encounter during the fieldwork operation and then deal with the problems. The supervisor must help interviewers assigned under you establish contact with village chiefs, commune chiefs, and other authorized representatives of the village, commune etc.
The supervisor has to prepare a time schedule for meeting all interviewers at their respective assigned villages for checking the work done etc.

Data Processing
Data Editing
Manual processing of questionnaires verified status of completeness, correctness, and consistency of the data entries. The coding classification of Occupations and
Industries was used and were developed for the Cambodian National Tobacco Survey. The coding and classification scheme were based on the UN International Standard Occupations Classification (ISOC) and UN International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) systems, respectively. Manual editing and coding were performed by four persons (one supervisor and three processors) all of them from NIS. They participated in editing and coding of many surveys conducted by NIS.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Substantial differences (sampling error of > 10%) results in the addition of sample points and subjects on a per domain basis until the comparability with current national data is achieved
