Sampling procedure

Random sample. Sampled by the Public Opinion Research Center (CBOS), Warsaw from its own sampling frame which was a randomly stratified (according to region and rural-urban) sampled units (815) of voting areas (1986 CBOS sampling frame) in which households were selected. Information about people aged 12 or more living in these households were collected by CBOS interviewers. This was the sampling frame for sampling POLPAN 1988 respondents: Issued names: 6000 (main sample); issued names: 3167 (reserve sample). Taking into consideration that the size of the place of living and its administrative status are highly correlated with the tendency to making use of respondents from reserve sample, in each of the voivodship in some of its places different size reserve sample was issued. The proportion of the reserve sample to the main sample was depending on the size of the place of living and its administrative status. In places where reaching respondent was difficult, the proportion of the reserve sample to the main sample was higher than in places where it was easier. Respondents who did not agree to complete the interview stay members of substitution sample.
