Note 1: The text in bold is meant to be read out to the respondent. Question marks indicate where the interviewer should wait for the reply of the respondent before reading out the next item.

Note 2: The formatting of the final questionnaire will depend on factors such as the interview mode. This document presents the framework of the final questionnaire, which will need to be formatted and edited before use in the field. Therefore many aspects related to how the questionnaire looks should not be considered final, and the final questionnaire will be adapted for fieldwork use in cooperation with the survey contractor.
