  • Micronutrient deficiencies are monitored through national-scale micronutrient surveys, which help estimate the population's nutritional status using specified inclusion probabilities and sample weights for unbiased estimates.
  • In the Ethiopia National Micronutrient Survey (2016), the original design was altered to ensure adequate sampling of women, leading to a reassessment of the sample weights used for estimating nutrient concentrations.
  • The study applied linear mixed models (LMM) to provide unbiased estimates and predictions, demonstrating the method's effectiveness for analyzing survey data when deviations from the original design occur.
