In the initial stage of the sampling, geographical units were classified according to certain statistical indices based on their assumed importance in structuring the beliefs of ordinary respondents. In the second stage of the sampling, eight substrata were identified from each of the first-stage strata. At the third stage of the sampling, each geographical unit fitting the defined matrix was enumerated, and the adult residents of these units were sampled in the fourth stage.
