Abstract
ALLBUScompact is offered as an alternative to the structurally more
complex full version of ALLBUS. It addresses the needs of newcomers to
data analysis by providing a simplified demography module containing an
easily manageable group of the most important demographic indicators.
All topical question modules not containing sensitive data are retained
as in the ALLBUS full version (scientific use file). For a
comprehensive description of study topics please compare

Probability: Stratified: Disproportional
Probability: Multistage
Household samples:
From 1980 to 1992 and in 1998, a multi-stage random sample of private households was conducted addressing all persons who were at least 18 years of age (ADM Sample Design).
Person Samples:
In 1994, 1996, and from 2000 a two-stage, disproportionate random sample was conducted in West Germany (including West Berlin) and East Germany (including East Berlin), comprising all persons living in private households who were at least 18 years old on 1 January of the year of the survey. In the first sample stage municipalities (Gemeinden) in western Germany and municipalities in eastern Germany were selected with a probability proportional to their number of adult residents; in the second sample stage individual persons were selected at random from the municipal registers of residents.
