The survey was conducted by SIFO on behalf of the Estonia group at the Swedish Church Research Secretariat in Uppsala. The study was conducted over a two week period about two months after the sinking of the ferry M/S Estonia on the 28th of September 1994. The ship was wrecked in a heavy storm during its journey from Tallinn, Estonia to Stockholm, Sweden. On board were 989 people, of which 852 lives were claimed.The accident is the largest ship disaster in peacetime in the Nordic seas of all time. After the sinking of the Estonia, a variety of efforts were made by various organizations, to help and assist in the difficult situation. The study was aimed to investigate what attitude the public had to the Church of Sweden after its response to the ferry disaster. Questions were asked about religious activity, sense of belonging to the Church of Sweden, altered perception of the Church of Sweden's role in society after the Estonia disaster, and religious activities as a result of the sinking of the Estonia. Respondents also had its approach to a number of statements about the religious dimensions of the Estonia disaster.

Description of sampling:
Den urvalsmetod som används är ett tvåstegs klusterurval, där man i första steget erhåller ett hushåll. I det andra steget väljs en hushållsmedlem inom varje hushåll. Som urvalsram används senaste utgåvan av telefonkatalogens förteckning över telefonnummer. De 28 katalogdelarna kan relativt väl inordnas i den offentliga statistikens 70 A-regioner. Via Folk- och Bostadsräknings-data erhålles data om antalet hushåll inom respektive A-region. Hushåll utan telefon innefattas ej i urvalet.
