Method of data collection

Survey data:
The random sample was drawn in two steps. First 281 sample points (250 communities) were taken from data provided by the Federal Statistical Office. Local residents' registration offices were asked to provide a systematic random sample (interval sampling) of addresses of people belonging to the birth cohorts of 1956-1988. Second, for the field work, 152 addresses per sample point were selected by simple random sampling, making a total of 42,712 addresses. For 22,656 addresses a valid telephone phone number could be determined.
