Response rates and final sample by country. Eurobarometer 51.0, European Union, 1999
| Country | Response rate(%)* | Sample | Number of localities sampled | Average number of respondents per locality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| *Response rates are expressed as the number of completed interviews relative to the number of effective contacts. The difference between completed interviews and effective contacts include both refusals to participate as well as interrupted interviews. †East and West Germany (for Germany), Northern Ireland and Great Britain (for United Kingdom), were sampled separately. For this study we aggregated both subsamples to represent the overall population of each country. | ||||
