Sampling procedure

As for regional organisation of Slovakia, a model of 12 traditional regions was used, since it provides for a better reflection of regional particularities rather than the current model of 8 self-governing regions. Based on the proportion of households living in flats in each traditional region, the number of selection units (totalling 350) was calculated per each traditional region. The territorial selection unit represented a census district. For each territorial selection unit included in the research, a starting address was selected by random choice from the prepared database of streets and house numbers. On each starting address, the interviewer proceeded by the method of chance walk to select 4 households in which they were supposed to conduct an interview. The household represented the selection unit for sample production. The member of a household who was over 18 years old and who was to celebrate birthday the soonest was chosen to be a respondent. There was no upper age limit closing the sample. The sample was designed as representative for adults living in private houses/flats
