Data (STAT)

Interviews were conducted by telephone. The sample was selected using the Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) method, which ensures that each individual within a country has an equal likelihood of being included in the sample. As a result of this sampling method, the country-level samples used in this survey are representative of the respective populations in terms of gender and educational attainment. All respondents were 18 years of age or older at the time of the survey. The resultant margin of error for each country-level sample is ±5%.
