The study was based on a sample of fifty (50) farm households scattered throughout the five villages that make up Omor community. These villages are Akanator, Iboji, Ikenga, Obumeri and Uga. All the households in these villages constitute the study population. However, two administrative wards were randomly selected from each of these villages. The selected wards were alphabetically arranged and the dwelling unit in them listed from the first dwelling unit in the first ward to the last dwelling unit in the last ward. This gave a total of one hundred and twelve dwelling units with a sampling interval of two dwelling units.
From the selected or induced dwelling units, a purposive sample of fifty (50) households was drawn. The sampling criteria include: the presence of currently married couple, with the husband and wife fully resident in the community to allow for a successful monitoring, as well as the presence of a working-age household member (whether biological child or relative) aged eighteen years or above. To allow for equal representation of the sexes in the sampling of household members (exclusive of husband and wife), further stratification by sex was carried out. That is, where in preceding household, a male was included, the sample included as a matter of necessity, a female from the next selected household. In a few dwelling units where more than one household met the inclusion cirteria, the household was selected through a simple random process.
So the final sample included, for each household, the couple and one male/female member of eighteen years or above. This gave a total of three indivdulas per household and sum-total of one hundred and fifty persons from the fifty households.
The household was chosen as uint of sampling/study because the local economy inOmor, like in many other agricultural-rural areas, is based on semi-subsistence farming, hence the household and the constituent individuals become the relevant centres of economic decisions and resource allocation.
