Abstract
This survey is the Swedish part of the 2004 'European Social Survey ' (ESS), and is focusing on health and care seeking, economic morality and work, family and well-being. The survey also includes data on media and social trust, politics, subjective well being, household characteristics and socio-demographics as well as human values as part of the core module of ESS.
Purpose:
The European Social Survey (the ESS) is an academically-driven social survey designed to chart and explain the interaction between Europe's changing institutions and the attitudes, beliefs and behaviour patterns of its diverse populations.

Sampling procedure
Single stage (without clustering) probability sampling. Fully random sample of individuals (equal probability selection) born before 1 September 1989.
Sampling frame:
For selection of individuals: The sampling frame is the register of the population, which includes all individuals living in Sweden. The frame is extremely well suited for this kind of sampling due to the full coverage of the total population.
Updating: The register is updated continuously. Individuals that do not reside on the address stated in the register will be traced through the use of complementary registers. Individuals residing in the country illegally can, naturally, not be selected, but the proportion of such individuals is small in Sweden and is thus unlikely to cause any substantial bias. The sampling frame includes those living in institutions, since there is no way to filter them.
Probability: Simple random
