A multi-stage, random (probability) sampling design was used for this
Eurobarometer. In the first stage, primary sampling units (PSU) were
selected from each of the administrative regionals units in every
country (Statistical Office of the European Community, EUROSTAT NUTS 2
or equivalent). PSU selection was systematic with probability
proportional to population size, from sampling frames stratified by the
degree of urbanization. In the next stage, a cluster of starting
addresses was selected from each sampled PSU, at random. Further
addresses were chosen systematically using standard random route
procedures as every Nth address from th initial address. In each
household, a respondent was drawn, at random, following the closest
birthday rule. No more than one interview was conducted in each
household. They were supposed to have sufficient command of one of the respective
national language(s) to answer the questionnaire. Separate samples were
drawn for Northern Ireland and East Germany.
