Background Characteristics of Respondents Clause Samples

Background Characteristics of Respondents. Table 3.1 shows the percentage distribution of the 895 respondents interviewed at baseline and the 504 of them who reported for endline interviews by selected background characteristics. The selected characteristics are age, marital status, age at sexual debut, number of children, fertility intention, district of residence, education, school attendance status, frequency of receiving or sending SMS, and source of income. Comparing the baseline distributions of the two samples sought to determine whether the 504 youth who participated in the endline survey were randomly distributed across different socio- demographic sub-groups of the 895 baseline interviewees. Statistically significant differences in the baseline distribution of the samples by the selected characteristics would suggest that the two samples are not the same: the endline sample could then not be regarded as a random and consequently a representative sub-sample of the initial sample. The table shows that, except for level of education and district of residence, there were no substantial differences in the socio-demographic compositions of the two samples5. This finding suggests that for most part, respondents who could not be reached at endline were randomly distributed across the select groups of youth. However, higher educated youth (particularly among female youth) were more likely to be reached at endline, and, the probability of being interviewed at both baseline and endline was higher in Inhambane than in Matola district.6 5 We also compared contraceptive knowledge at baseline of respondents who were not interviewed at endline with those who were interviewed at endline and found no statistically significant difference between the two samples.
