Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The Social Indicator Sample Survey (SISS) was carried out in 2013 by the National Statistical Office of Mongolia in collaboration with UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and UN Population Fund (UNFPA), as part of the global Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (MICS5) programme. UNICEF and UNFPA provided technical and financial support.
The survey, the largest of its kind ever conducted in Mongolia, included 15,500 households and combined the Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (MICS), Reproductive Health Survey (RHS) and Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). This survey marked the introduction of tablets for large-scale data collection.
SISS 2013 collected data to compile indicators in the areas of health, education, development, protection, well-being and rights of children and women. In addition, data on reproductive health, family planning, knowledge and attitude towards HIV/AIDS, and sexual behaviour of Mongolian men and women was collected.

Sampling
The Social Indicator Sample Survey is a household-based survey where households are defined as sampling units. Therefore, the households living in their administrative unit for 6 or more months or intended to live in for 6 or more months if not 6 months yet, are defined as sampling units in the survey concept.
The sample size is defined by having actual representation in urban-rural and regions (Western, Khangai, Central, Easternand Ulaanbaatar) when provides estimates of the survey result at the national level. 15,500 households were selected with probability proportional to size at the national level and it was decided to select sampling units using household unit weight for each region or unit weight of the region's households in the national rate.
Sample was selected in two stages. In the first stage, primary sampling units (baghs and khesegs) were selected with probability proportional to size. 25 households within each of these selected baghs and khesegs were selected using the systematic sampling method. The 2012 official household registration list was used as the sampling frame. Kheseg of khoroo's for Ulaanbaatar and baghs of soum's for aimags were defined as primary sampling units (PSUs). In total, 384 baghs of 236 soums of 21 aimags and 220 khesegs of 75 khoroos of 9 districts of Ulaanbaatar were covered by the survey and for each bagh and kheseg household lists were updated in May - July 2013. For reporting results, sample weights are used.

Social Indicator Sample Survey used Tablet PC for data collection, which has advantages of quick data processing and transfer.The data collected by the interviewers from the primary sampling units were aggregated at the supervisor's level and after required clarification and editing, the data sent to the central network of the NSO. The data received by the central network were monitored and additional clarifications were obtained from the primary sampling units through the supervisor.
The development and testing of questionnaires were carried out during June-August 2013. The training for fieldwork was held in September. The data collection was carried out in the last quarter of 2013 and data processing, tabulation and dissemination of preliminary results were completed in the beginning of June 2014.
Data processing
Data was entered on electric database using the CSPro program. Procedures and standard programs developed under the global SISS programme and adapted to the SISS Mongolia 2013 questionnaire were used throughout. The data processing started from January 2014, where initial editing followed by logical editing were done. Developing syntax for main and additional tabulation started from February 2014 and completed by second half of April, 2014. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, Version 21. Model syntax and tabulation plans developed by UNICEF were customized and used for this purpose. The UNFPA, UNICEF and global team of SISS reviewed and finalized all syntaxes of tabulation of the data processing. The preliminary results of the SISS were disseminated to the public and users on June 5, 2014. The national report was developed and included comments of the Steering Committee and Working Group of the survey and global team of the SISS.
