52 Part 3 Methods Report [ 52 ]

53 SURVEY METHODS UNIVERSE The Universe is Global population. The survey was carried out in 53 countries. The population of these 53 countries comprise 76% of global population. For the purposes of this survey the standard/conventional approach was followed: each country has been treated as an independent universe. The sample selected to be interviewed in each country are representative of the adult population of the country. In a few countries interviews were limited to the major cities (notably China and India). In such cases the limitation has been indicated in the section below which provides details on country level sample size. SAMPLING METHODS Probability sampling methods have been used in all the polled countries. Further details can be provided upon request. In general multi-stage stratified sampling methods have been employed. The error margins are in the range of + 3-5% at 95% confidence level. INTERVIEWING METHODS The Interviewing Methods are specific to each country. Details are provided below in the country level sampling and interviewing details. The Methods can generally be described as Multi-Mode. They include Face to Face, Telephone and Online interviews depending on the country. [ 53 ]

54 FIELD WORK DATES The Field Work was conducted during October-December 2010 (unless specified otherwise for a given country in the country details). WEIGHTING SCHEME: 1- For Global Averages only that population has been treated as the polled universe where the survey was conducted. This means that if (such as in China and India) only major urban centers were interviewed, only those populations are treated as the relevant population of r developing the weights. Details are available at the end of this Report. Further details can be available upon request. The issue of weighting in determining global averages is under deliberation in our team and we will be happy to share our thoughts with the interested scientific and professional community. 2- A number of countries have used weights for their national level data. Details can be available upon request. 3- The country level averages which appear in this Report are weighted averages. [ 54 ]
