Cacandee village consists of approximately 400 households
(PADF, 2006). At 95% confidence level and ±10% interval, a minimum
sample size of 78 households was required. The research entailed
a systematic sampling approach, in which interviewers
started at either end of the main road and at a random end of
the four main branch roads, using a random number table to select
the households. This continued until the minimum sample size
was achieved. Kernahan and Cascadoux settlements are considered
as a single community because of the geography of their historically
converging development (village centers are about 4 km apart
with increasing ribbon development between). They are also not
marked by any distinct socio-cultural or socio-economic differences
(Baptiste and Nordenstam, 2009). Kernahan and Cascadoux
have 91 and 42 households respectively. At 95% confidence level
and +10% interval, a minimum sample size of 56 households was
required. For proportionality, the sample consisted of at least 38
households from the Kernahan and 18 from Cascadoux.
