The survey applied the standard methodology and assessment tools recommended by the Kenya Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation and Ministry of Medical Services. SMART sampling methodology was used.

In these households, 917 children 6-59 months and 461 caregivers 15-49 years had their nutritional status assessed. Retrospective crude and under-five mortality (90 day recall) was collected from 601 households.
