Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Stratified

Sample size was 2000 persons. Two-stage stratified sampling was carried out by the Population Register Centre. The first stage of sampling was based on regional quotas, which were consistent with the administrative classification of municipalities. From the sampled municipalities, a random sample of working-age (19-63) population was drawn. No more than one person could be selected from one household. The sample can be regarded as representative. Questionnaires were posted in April 2004, and 737 responses were returned. Reminder letters were posted four weeks later. Altogether, there were 1061 responses.
