Sample
To obtain a net sample of 2,425 randomly selected panel members + 75 additional panel members aged 75 and older, first a random sample of 3,480 panel members of 18 years or older was selected. A response rate of 70% was taken into account and only one person per household was randomly selected. Subsequently, this sample was supplemented with 108 panel members of 75 years or older, one person per household. These additional panel members were selected from the households that were not selected in the original sample. At the start of the fieldwork some panel members were excluded (e.g., due to holiday or illness) and the questionnaire was presented to 3,533 panel members.
