Description of sampling:
Ett urval drogs ur befolkningsregistret bland personer i åldern 18-80 år som var folkbokförda i Skåne län den 30 juni 2008. Urvalet var stratifierat efter kön och kommun/stadsdel. Varje kommun utgjorde en urvalsgrupp förutom Helsingborg som delades in i fem stadsdelar, Kristianstad med sex kommundelar, Lund med tio kommundelar samt Malmö med tio stadsdelar. Totalt besvarade 28198 personer frågeformuläret, vilket motsvarade 54,1 procent av nettourvalet (n = 52142).
