Methodology

Sample

Based on the 2000 Census tract distribution, 350 locales were randomly selected. Then, 20 individuals aged 20-49 were randomly selected within each locale, based on the registration of current domicile (jumin kihon daicho). Because one of the major objectives of the survey was to collect information on early life course, individuals aged 20-39 were selected at twice the rate of those aged 40-49.
