Data Collection Notes

  1. The original data collection was carried out by TNS Fait et and Opinion - Brussels, on request of the German Marshall Fund of the United States.

  2. Indirect Identifiers: To limit possible disclosure risk, the time of interview variables P2A_1, P2A_2, P2B_1, and P2B_2 have been dropped from the public-use data.

  3. Split Ballot: A split ballot was used for one or more questions in this survey. The variables SPLIT1, SPLIT3, SPLIT4, and SPLIT5 define the separate groups. Of note, for questions Q7a and Q7b, two split variables (SPLIT2 and Q7_SPLIT) are available to define the separate groups.

Up to 5 call-backs for telephone interviews and 4 visits in total for face-to-face interviews were attempted before dropping a potential respondent.

Universe
